Weingut Heinrichshof - Zeltinger 'Sonnenuhr Rotlay Riesling Großes Gewächs' 2024

Heinrichshof, owned and run by brothers Peter and Ulrich Griebeler since 2014, is one of a handful of Mosel properties with a primary focus on making dry (Trocken) Riesling.  While the steep slopes above the Mosel have traditionally been dedicated to sweeter styles, Heinrichshof is adapting to a new era of ripeness, and is making dry Riesling of great energy and detail, without any austerity, all for very attractive prices.

In addition to the  dry whites, the Griebler brothers also produce beautiful Kabinett and Auslese Riesling, showcasing the piercing purity and lightness of touch of these traditional Mosel styles.

Hand harvest and selection; a few hours skin maceration prior to pressing; gentle pressing (only first and free run juice used); must settled for 48 hours; fermentation in traditional 60 year old Füder barrels (1000 liters); maturation in Füder on full lees for 10 months without racking (bottled 18 August 2025); one filtration before bottling under natural cork.
