WINE DESCRIPTION
Since 1642, the family has dedicated itself to the art of winemaking, with a special focus on the cultivation of Riesling. Nestled in the picturesque Mosel region, the steep shale slopes create an ideal microclimate for Riesling grapes. Committed to the highest standards of wine quality, from vineyard to cellar, the family meticulously crafts delicate Rieslings that showcase the unique terroir of their renowned vineyards, including Trittenheimer Apotheke and Graacher Himmelreich. Guided by decades of experience from Heinz Eifel and the inspiration of Oenologist Anne Eifel-Spohr, their philosophy results in Rieslings with a distinctive and individual character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Eifel Pfeiffer Eiswein is a delightful German dessert wine offering the unique characteristics of the Eifel region.This wine is made from grapes that have been left on the vine until they freeze, allowing for the concentration of sugars and flavors.
On the palate, this Eiswein offers a luscious and velvety texture, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors are rich and complex, with layers of ripe apricots, honeyed peach, and marmalade. There is also a refreshing citrus zest that adds a vibrant touch to the overall profile.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delightful sweetness on the palate that is beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity.
