MölsheimRieslingTreasureCollection2018

<p> The vineyards around Mölsheim are significantly cooler than our Hohen-Sülzer Not only are the vineyards located quite high, which makes the cooler winds of the Donnersberg massif pass through unprotected can, in addition, the Zellertal also rejuvenates here and the winds are forced through the valley like a nozzle. Cooler daytime temperatures and extremely short drying periods after rainfall are the result. The vines of the Mölsheim Riesling are rooted in the bare limestone rock, which here is only covered by a thin layer of gravel. The vineyard work is laborious and every year we have to remove huge amounts of limestone, that literally grow out of the vineyard. This stoniness and Austerity is perfectly expressed in the minerality of the Riesling: Subdued fruit, few primary aromas, but the extremely delicate Notes of flint and northern herbs. A Riesling that plays with the acidity and minerality are nevertheless incredibly elegant and finely chiseled. 2018 was a year of superlatives: The stable, dry high pressure weather with lots of sun over the summer months also shaped the picture in our vineyards. The dry periods have taken their toll on the vines. once again proved to be a complex, yet very effective measure proven that we can already produce thousands of straw bales in spring in the vineyards to ensure good shading of the soil and to counteract evaporation. Our efforts have culminated in 2019 with the construction of our new maturation cellar reached a new peak. Every wine that leaves our winery after years of maturation receives a special designation of the “Treasure Collection” on the label to provenance in the winery’s aging cellar under ideal conditions guarantee.</p>
