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 Spätlese was made from fruit picked at 87° Oechsle on over 90-year-old vines and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (77 g/l). It offers a superbly aromatic and complex nose of almond cream, vineyard peach, apricot, smoke, anise, and William’s pear. The wine coats the palate with ample juicy and ripe yellow fruits, and leaves a playful and layered feel in the superbly long and creamy finish. This has superb Spätlese aromatics and finesse.

August 2022 (Vintage 2021)

Picked at 87° Oechsle but from 90-year-old, ungrafted vines and with lots of sugar-free dry extract, the 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with intense and generous, ripe and even concentrated fruit with very fine notes of crushed slate and fresh lemon juice. Round and refined on the palate, this is a delicious, very delicate and vivacious Spätlese with typical WSU finesse and fine acidity that is interwoven with the characteristic and so stimulating salinity on the finish. This is a lush and almost erotic Spätlese that needs a decade to become really seductive. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
