🍇 Max Ferdinand Richter, Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling ‘Zeppelin’
Country: Germany | Region: Mosel
Style: White Wine | Grape Variety: 100% Riesling
Farming: Sustainable | Vineyard: Mülheimer Sonnenlay
🌟 A historic and charming Riesling, born from Mosel slate and named after the famous Zeppelin airship — pure, poised, and delicately off-dry.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw yellow with glimmers of green, reflecting its youthful freshness and Mosel clarity.
👃 On the Nose:
Elegant and aromatic with classic Mosel Riesling purity. Notes of lime blossom, green apple, and white peach meet delicate hints of wet slate, honeysuckle, and a touch of ginger spice.
👅 On the Palate:
Beautifully balanced and vibrant, with a gentle off-dry profile. The palate bursts with flavours of ripe citrus, stone fruits, and crisp green apple, supported by a lively mineral backbone and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is clean, long, and refreshing with a whisper of sweetness.
🍽 Food Pairing:
A stunning match for Asian cuisine, especially Thai or Vietnamese dishes, sushi, spicy pork, dim sum or goat cheese salads. Also brilliant with lightly spiced curries or as a solo sipper.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
While drinking beautifully now, this Riesling has the structure to age gracefully for 5–7 years, developing richer honeyed and petrol notes over time.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This is Mosel elegance in a bottle — steeped in tradition (the name pays homage to the estate’s historic Zeppelin shipment), yet light, agile, and joyful. A must-try for fans of classic German Riesling.
