A trocken Riesling from the village of Kasel so drier in style with ripe citrus fruit flavours and classic mineral balance.
Production
The Riesling grapes are sourced from vineyard sites near the village of Kasel in the Ruwer valley - characterised by loose slate soils. They are hand-picked, undergo selection, and then are fermented in small stainless steel tanks. The wine rests for a few months on its fine lees, before bottling the spring following the harvest.

Meet the producer
Bischöfliche Weinguter Trier cultivates approximately 95 hectares of vineyard, among them some of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer's most legendary sites. Almost 90% of production is Riesling, with grapes crushed and pressed at Scharzhof on the Saar and Duisburger Hoffman on the Ruwer.
Wines are then aged in either traditional fuder or stainless steel in their vast vaulted cellars in the heart of Trier, which date back to Roman times.
