Robert Eymael Monchhof Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese 2009

Winery: The Monchhof is one of the oldest Wine Estates at the Mosel. Pope Alexander III already confirmed the first Wine Estate possession of the abbey in the year 1177 in Uerzig. The monks of Himmerod built the wine-cellar at that time and in 1509 the estate you can admire today.
In 1804, after the secularization by Napoleon, our family could acquire the Wine Estate in Paris.

The vineyards are planting excluding along-root-genuine, partly hundred years old Riesling-Reben.

In order to use the advantages of the heat-storing slate soils and the Mosel resembling of the temperature out coined/shaped favorable small climate fully, it requires complex management the steep rock slopes. Thus the yield is limited consistently to favour of the quality.

93 Points: "This well-structured version shows effusive aromas and flavors of baked peach, apricot, tangerine and slate. There's lots of rich, smoky elements on the finish, which offers delicate honey cream notes. Drink now through 2030."
