Abtei Himmerod Riesling Sptlese is an elegant expression of Riesling from Germanys Mosel region, grown on steep, slate-rich vineyards along the Mosel River. The combination of slate soils, steep slopes, and a cool climate gives the grapes intense minerality, bright acidity, and delicate aromatic complexity. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietys pure fruit and floral character. The result is a vibrant, refined wine with layered flavours and a long, mineral-driven finish.
