Riesling

Descriptions of Riesling overflow with praise. It is called the most important white grape, one of the 'cépages nobles', the French term for the world's noblest varieties, and the 'queen of white wines'. The countless synonyms in many languages readily suggest how widespread it is. Exactly where this exceptional grape's success story began remains unclear, although it most probably originated in the Rhine Valley. Historical documents record trade in the old variety there. Even if its birthplace is unknown, DNA analysis has identified its parents. In this special case, there are said to have been three: a wild vine, Traminer and white Heunisch. We will leave the morals of this 'ménage à trois' unjudged; in sensory terms, however, it is a highlight. Fruity aromas including apricot, peach and citrus, with harmonious acidity, body and extract: that is Riesling in the glass. The grape ripens slowly and late, making northern areas with heat-retaining soils, such as the Rhine, Mosel and Saar valleys, the Palatinate and Alsace, particularly suitable. It is thus selective about site, while making comparatively modest demands on soil composition. The range of Rieslings on offer consequently extends from uncomplicated everyday wines to award-winning wines of the highest quality.

Mohr Wine Estate

The estate was founded by Wilhelm Mohr in 1875. His ancestors had moved from Spain, with its Oriental influences, to the Rheingau as early as 1550. Today, the fourth generation runs it according to the principles of modern organic viticulture: Jochen Neher and his wife Saynur Sonkaya-Neher (originally from Turkey). The Mohr estate has also been a member of Ecovin since 2014.
Amid vineyards mysteriously surrounded by myths and fairy tales, this estate with German and Turkish influences creates exquisite wines. The winegrowers delightfully unite East and West in a thousand and one flavours. First-class organic and vegan wines are made here in natural harmony: pure, authentic enjoyment for you and our environment.
