2020 Max Ferd. Richter Graacher Dompropst Riesling Alte Reben white

The Dompropst vineyard is regarded as the "Premier Grand Cru" in Graach. Its soils are rich in Devonian slate stone and clay, and it is located next to the Mosel River. Ripe, healthy grapes are hand-picked and gently destemmed so that they undergo pre-mashing and then the must is fermented under temperature control in traditional old oak barrels (Fuder), using the presence of indigenous yeasts. The result of this process is a wine full of character, complexity and rich in citrus aromas, spices with light smoky nuances. The pleasant acidity impresses in the aftertaste.

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.
