Riesling, Peter Nicolay, Mosel, DE, 2020

Leaning on the blue shale soils of the Mosel, Peter Nicolay winery has been making waves since the early 1800's.  A deep passion for their vineyards and famous Inn helped make this house a cornerstone of Mosel winemaking. In the past it has had the honor of being purveyor to the court of the German emperor in Berlin, to the House of Lords in London (1913), to the Grand Duke of Luxemburg (1916) and to the court of the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen(1909). The heiress of Carl Hubert Berres was his granddaughter Helga, married to Dr. Peter Pauly, owner of the Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler estate. Helga´s father died when she was young so that she soon became involved with the management and the tradition of her grandfather´s estate of Peter Nicolay. In October 1986 she became solely responsible, and since then both estates have been administrated from Bernkastel.

In 1980 modern production facilities were built which allow  careful control of the fermentation and maturing process. The results are healthy, exciting wines whose distinct character is the hallmark and pride of the Peter Nicolay estate.

The most famous wine villages of the district Mosel-Saar-Ruwer are situated in the heart of the Middle Moselle.
