- Winemaker: Enno Lippold
- Varieties: Riesling (off-dry)
- Farming: Sustainable with Organic Practices (Lutte Raisonée)
- Terroir: Red Slate Soils, 65+ year old vines
- Vinification: Vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel vats, and intentionally released after a minimum of one year in the bottle, it displays classic Mosel mineral and lime notes throughout with bright, crisp acidity and just enough residual sugar to soften the edges.
With vines located in the prized vineyards of Urzig in the Mosel valley, Lippold then set out with his friend and partner Benedikt Pfeifer to produce Riesling wines that would be released only after spending an appropriate time in bottle. The appropriate time varies between vineyards & vintages, but Lippold and many Riesling lovers believe that the nuanced complexity that makes this varietal shine, is not apparent to the taster early after bottling and that the wines need 2-4 years in bottle to show their potential. The bulk of Lippold's holdings are in the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard, located mid-slope on the south exposed bend of the Mosel above Urzig, not far from Bernkastel-Keus.
