Wine Tasting Notes
The Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof Estate Riesling "From Old Vines" represents everything you can expect from a fine Riesling from Germany's renowned Mosel Valley. It has the elegance and freshness that Riesling is known for plus the depth and finesse that only wines from old gnarly vines can have.
Vinification:
The grapes come from old vines (often 40+ years) in steep, slate-soil vineyards in the Mosel. They are hand-harvested for optimal ripeness and quality. After a gentle pressing, the juice undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks using natural or selected yeasts, preserving bright fruit and minerality. The wine is aged on fine lees for added texture and complexity, then bottled with minimal intervention to express terroir and purity.
