Vinification of the Claes Riesling Trittenheim off-dry from Claes Schmitt Erben

The origin of the outstanding Claes Riesling Trittenheim off-dry from Claes Schmitt Erben lies in the steep, sun-drenched vineyards of the Mosel village of Trittenheim. Here the Riesling grapes grow on warm, stony slate soils, which lend the vines not only minerality but also finely nuanced fruit aromas. The unique Mosel terroir is decisive for the freshness and precision of this wine creation.

The careful cultivation of the vines is sustainable and involves a great deal of manual work.
