WINE DESCRIPTION
In 1920, Richard Mosbacher, along with his sisters, founded a winery named after their father. The winery began bottling its wine from the start. In the 1980s, Richard II Mosbacher transformed the estate into a top-tier operation. Today, the winery is managed by his daughter Sabine and her husband, Jürgen Düringer. The vineyards span 20 hectares across several locations, including Freundstück, Jesuitengarten, and Ungeheuer in Forst. They primarily cultivate Riesling, alongside other white varieties like Weißburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer, as well as red varieties such as Spätburgunder, Merlot, and Dornfelder. The estate follows organic farming practices and offers premium Grosse Gewächse wines, single-vineyard Rieslings, estate wines, bottle-fermented sparkling wines, and fine spirits. The winery is a member of the VDP.
