WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine comes from the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard, located in the Mosel region of Germany. The vineyard is known for its steep slopes and red slate soil, which impart unique mineral flavors to the wine. The Riesling grapes are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used.
