"This Mosel Riesling is sourced from a vineyard plot planted in the 1960s that used to house a fruit and vegetable garden for the village church " the wine™s name actually translates to œthe Garden of the Rectory.” It opens with petrol, pear, and floral aromas on the nose. The palate is crisp but full of juicy fruit, allowing the acidity to run wild while remaining perfectly balanced."

"The 2024 Riesling Pfarrgarten feinherb is from a former orchard of the church, grown on richer soils with some slate at the bottom of the Dhroner Hofberg, right on the Dhron brook. A touch of grapefruit shimmers shyly on the nose with the merest herbal hint. The palate has the gentlest sweetness that adds a lovely citric juiciness. All about this is svelte, compact and so alluring. It™s like lemon candy, but far less sweet. The 25 g/L of residual sugar seem to disappear in the glass. Off-dry"

"Very cool and crisp, with plenty of substance and intense lemon zest character. This is a very striking, medium-bodied Mosel riesling with an unusually bold, dry, lemony finish. From vines planted during the 1960s at the foot of the hillside of Dhron. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
