About this winery

Situated in the heart of the Mosel's finest vineyards, the Max Ferdinand Richter estate has been in the family for over 300 years. The family owns 48 acres of priceless vines on the magnificent stretch of the river between Erden and Brauenberg including all the best sites: Graacher Himmelreich, Wehlener Sonnenuhr and Brauenberger Juffer and Richter's monopole Veldenzer Eilsenberg. This is quite literally an embarrassment of riches. Richter's vines are sustainably farmed; all grapes are...

June 2022 (Vintage 2021)

The 2021er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit picked at 76° Oechsle on 80-year-old un-grafted vines and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (50 g/l). It presents a beautifully restrained, smoky, and herbal nose of anise, cardamom, mint, white peach, cassis, and dill. The wine proves superbly playful as some dynamic zest and minty notes give a great focused side to the wine. The racy finish is very pure and vibrating, with some high-pitched lime and yuzu flavors. This intense and racy Kabinett needs a couple of years to integrate its acidity and could well prove even better than anticipated at maturity.

August 2022 (Vintage 2021)

The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett offers a clear, precise and pure, lovely slate-driven bouquet with citric fruit and some cassis and gooseberry aromas. Crystalline, linear and fresh on the palate, this is an elegant, lush and silky-textured, precise and almost sharp but also round and finely sweet Kabinett from the Himmelreich that shows red and black currant notes on the aftertaste. A gorgeous Kabinett that has to be aged for 10-15 years. Sourced from 80-year-old vines on pure gray slate. Bottled with a spectacular total acidity of 12 grams per liter, but you don't feel the grams of acidity; and believe me, it's serious but balanced by extract and almost 50 grams per liter of residual sugar. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
