Winemaker Notes

Pristine fruit aromas of pear, ripe apples with subtle notes of crushed slate and flintiness. Sleek and elegant on the palate. Fruity flavours of honey, pear and green apple supported by a limey acidity.

About the Producer

Formerly a possession of the Cistercian Abbey at Himmerod, is one of the oldest estates in the Mosel region. As early as 1177 documents from Pope Alexander III show the Abbey owned vineyards in and around the village of Urzig. After secularization, the Eymaels in 1804 purchased the estate from Napoleon at an auction in Paris. The estate's top vineyards are comprised of the very steep Urziger Wurzgarten, Erdener Treppchen and the "filet" piece in one of the prized jewels in the Mosel valley the Erdener Pralat. All the vineyards are planted 100% to Riesling (all with original rootstocks)
