Weingut Immich-Batterieberg

2018 Riesling, local wine, 12% Vol.

A tasty, dry Riesling Ortswein with 10.2 g/l residual sugar and 6.2 g/l acidity. The essence of four top Enkirch sites gives this wine a lot of pressure and elegance from vines over 60 years old.

The Immich-Batterieberg winery in Enkirch, Rhineland-Palatinate, is one of the oldest wineries in the Moselle. First mentioned in a document in 908 A.D., the Immich family of winegrowers ran the winery from 1425 and shaped viticulture on the Moselle. The eponymous "Batterieberg" was shaped into a vineyard in the 19th century by the founding family with the help of blasting batteries. Since the relaunch in 2009, oenologist Gernot Kollmann has been in charge of the traditional winery, building on the great wines that the estate has produced through the centuries. He describes his Riesling style as unadorned and powerful, and critics particularly appreciate it. Philipp Clementi is responsible for the outdoor operations & passionately & experiencedly takes care of the extreme steep slopes, i.e. the care of the vines, at the winery. On average, the rootless Riesling vines, which are traditionally cultivated in single-pole training, are 60 years old. Late in the year, the grapes are selectively harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripening.
