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 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested on up to 100-year-old un-grafted vines and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (50 g/l). It offers an elegantly floral and refined nose of tangerine, pear, yellow peach, mint, thyme, and prune. The wine proves superbly playful and delicately creamy on the palate, yet also has quite some refreshing and zesty acidity coming through. The finish is rather sharp and focused and needs a few years in order to develop more finesse.

August 2022 (Vintage 2021)

Picked from 80- to 90-year-old vines with the fruit at around 75° to 76° Oechsle, Richter's 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers pure yet intense and concentrated, flinty-scented fruit with citrus and red cassis aromas. Round and savory on the palate, with crystalline acidity and perfectly round fruit, this is an elegant and refined WSU with redcurrant notes on the saline finish. The acidity is fine but everything else is shy except for the great expression of the blue slate in the Sonnenuhr. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
