Special characteristic

Meticulous selection of immaculate hand-picked grapes. Gentle pressing followed by wild-yeast fermentation in traditional Fuder (oak casks). Subsequent maturation on the gross lees for 24 months as well as a further 36 months' ageing in bottle before release.

Deep nose with yellow and red fruit and spicy characters. A powerful reserve wine delivering lots of freshness as well as phenolic grip, intensity and impressive tension throughout.

Shimmering red and insanely steep, Ürziger Würzgarten is a unique amphitheatre of vines overlooking the River Mosel. Ürziger Würzgarten is the only location on the Mittelmosel not characterised by slate. Its soil, Rotliegendes, is a red, weathered conglomerate of volcanic origin. Situated in a specific parcel called 'Unterst Pichler', the ungrafted vines used for this GG Réserve Alte Reben are up to 120 years old.
