Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Zeppelin Label Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling (75cl)

A Mosel Riesling from the Mülheimer Sonnenlay vineyard, produced by Weingut Max Ferd. Richter. The estate has roots stretching back over 300 years in Mülheim an der Mosel, and the wine draws fruit from estate-grown vines and contracted growers in Mülheim. Its 1920s art deco label was designed by Bauhaus artist Hans Schlösser and commemorates the vineyard's distinction of being poured on the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg airships. The wine is off-dry to dry in style. On the nose there is fresh apple blossom, orchard fruit, bright citrus and slate-stone minerality, with a tender flowery quality. The palate is juicy and round, with ripe orchard fruit, pronounced mineral texture and racy acidity, leading to a balanced interplay of delicate fruit sweetness and spice. The finish is long and harmonic with a dryish character, lingering with zesty citrus and flinty slate.
