Vinification Details
From the 12th century until the 19th century the Abbey Himmerod had been practiced viticulture. During the existence of the monastery numerous lease agreements for the most famous vineyard location at the Mittelmosel had been signed. The wines for the new range "Edition Abtei Himmerod" had been chosen by the monks of the monastery. For them it was really important to keep the typical minerals of the soil and the character of the wine varieties in order to highlight the unique area of the Mosel.

Live up to Mosel Riesling reputation

Contrary to well known sweetly graded Riesling from Mosel, this Trocken (dry) is dry Riesling with a hint of pleasant sweetness - normally I am not a fan of any sweetness in wine. Aromatic, as typical Riesling, which at first not so appealing but developed beautifully to flowery breathas continued. Enchanting.

Not really all that dry

A decent wine, but I found it too sweet for a dry Riesling. And despite the description claiming it had "a long acidity final", I felt acidity was what was missing to offset the sweetness.

Great Riesling

Have enjoyed this wine a few times now. Hint of sweetness and not acidic. Loads of flavour and a decent price especially when on offer. Works well with food but also nice by itself.

A lovely Riesling.

Riesling is my favourite wine.This is a great example of Riesling, dry, crisp with a slight mineral tang. Dry and crisp, goes fabulously well with fish and Chinese/oriental dishes.

Not for me

I prefer the other Rieslings in this collection - this one is not as nice!
