Description
Style of wine
Dr Hermann Ürziger Würzgarten Alte Reben Kabinett from the producer Dr Hermann is an off-dry white wine from the renowned Mosel region. This Riesling with the Kabinett designation is distinguished by a bright and vibrant aromatic profile, where a pleasant sweetness finds the perfect balance thanks to a fine acidity. The bouquet expresses intense notes of exotic spices, citrus fruit, peach and mango, embellished with delicate nuances of honey and the characteristic petrol note. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel, thus preserving all the authenticity and energy of the fruit.
Origin
This wine comes from the renowned Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard, historically known as the Spice Garden, located in Germany in the heart of the Mosel. The area is characterised by extremely steep slopes that require rigorous heroic viticulture, allowing the plants to make the most of the south and south-west sun exposure. The unique soil, composed of red slate and sandstone, gives an unmistakable earthy and spicy character. The grapes come from precious century-old old vines, with an age between one hundred and one hundred and twenty years, whose deep roots extract elements from the subsoil that guarantee great complexity.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest of the bunches, carefully selected at the ideal ripeness level to keep the freshness typical of the category intact. In the cellar, the transformation takes place through a spontaneous fermentation conducted exclusively by indigenous yeasts, operating within stainless steel tanks. This technical choice, without any time in wood, aims to enhance the pure varietal expression and the natural acidic backbone of the must. The cycle concludes with early bottling, a fundamental step to preserve the tension and vibrant liveliness that define the wine's identity for a long time.
History and curiosities
The wine by Dr. Hermann is born in a place of unique charm, historically known as the Ürzig Spice Garden, in Germany. The exceptional nature of this production is based on true heroic viticulture, strictly practised on the extremely steep slopes that dominate the Mosel landscape. This extraordinary heritage draws strength from century-old plants, with vines boasting an age of between one hundred and one hundred and twenty years. These old centenary vines, deeply rooted in red slate and sandstone soil, are witnesses to the past.
