Peter & Peter Riesling Steillage Lieblich

A slightly sweeter wine than its brother, Peter & Peter Riesling Trocken, but make no mistake, this is truly a dry wine. It's easy to misunderstand. Especially during the 20th century, the Mosel region became a paradise for sweet white wines, primarily based on Riesling. However, since the 1990s, the tide has turned, and a growing number of serious wineries have emerged, recognizing the region's potential for dry wines. Peter & Peter is one of them, demonstrating with this Riesling Feinherb that quality and Mosel are indeed a golden combination.

These slopes are characteristic of this region, where the playful Mosel plays a prominent role. Because of these slopes, the wines receive plenty of sunlight, which benefits the growing process. The harvest for Peter & Peter Riesling Feinherb is carried out entirely by hand due to the steep slopes. This ensures strict control, ensuring that only the finest bunches of Riesling grapes are used in this wine.
