2019 Max Ferd. Richter Pinot Blanc white

After the first title-deed in Brauneberg on 17th April 1643, the company was founded in 1680 and its winemaking tradition can be traced back over 300 years of family history, always with the maxim: "Great wines are made in the vineyard, not in the cellar".

In 1774, the founder's grandson built a beautiful manor house with a garden in the architectural style that prevailed at the time. Almost a century later, in 1880, Max Ferd.Richter built a modern cellar housing one of the largest collections of wooden casks in the Mosel region. The company is currently in the 9th generation of the family, with a member of the 10th generation, Constantin MF Richter, already taking an active part in its business since the summer of 2012.

The Pinot Blanc vineyards were cultivated in 2002 on a steep hillside of slate soils covered with pebbles, the result of the last great ice age, combined with a small percentage of clay. After gentle pressing, the must was partially fermented in 10-year-old oak barrels by indigenous yeasts only. The wine, produced in cuveé, results in a mineral rich profile with aromas of almond, toffee and honey.
