Richard Böcking - Mosel - Riesling - 2021

$25.95

It is this treasure of unique steep slopes in Trarbach on the Middle Moselle and the love for top-quality Riesling that encouraged the descendants of the Böckings to awaken the almost abandoned, now approximately 6-hectare winery from its slumber.

 The Böckings, formerly the most important wine merchants of the Moselle, have left behind an impressive legacy: 4 old, almost forgotten top vineyard sites with old ungrafted vines, which are now being lovingly and painstakingly recultivated under the aegis of Sigrid Carroll, descendants of the Böckings, her father, Denman Zirkle, together with winemaker Philipp Buchkremer.

These sites – above all the Ungsberg and the Schlossberg – were listed in the oldest vineyard maps at the end of the 19th century alongside those such as Juffer-Sonnenuhr and Scharzhofberger as among the best vineyards of the Mosel.

This crisp, fruity, and fresh Riesling reflects the acidity of the Mosel Riesling grapes. The wine is smooth on the palate and unfolds floral notes, revealing flavors of pineapple, tropical fruits, and vanilla.
