Melscheimer Dry Sparkling Riesling

The Reil vineyard Mullay-Hofberg is one of the most impressive steep slopes of the Lower Middle Mosel: For nearly one kilometre, it towers almost directly above the river. Numerous mighty rocks and terraces at vertiginous heights with very individual microclimates are scattered across the site.

The site’s incline and its poor soils of finely weathered grey and red slate enable the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness by being left on the vines until very late in the year. This leads to highly aromatic wines that are rich in extract. Yet the Mullay-Hofberg wines are never «fat». Their complex aromas are always coupled with underlying lively and fresh subtle citrus notes.

Brioche, grass, warm stones; pears, gooseberries and vineyard peach in the nose. On the palate, lively minerality with a hint of saltiness; pears, honeydew melon and peach in the finish. Elegant but substantial; good length.
