Weingut Weegmuller Der Elegante Riesling Trocken

The grapes are produced in the outstanding vineyard sites of the Mittelhaardt. Almost 90% of Weingut Weegmuller’s vineyards are located in the top classified region of Haardt. This district takes its name from the low-lying Haardt Mountains, which play a vital role in the terroir here. The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard which is situated on one third Haardt soil and two thirds Neustadt soil. The soils are made up of sand and clay over deep slate, which helps to impart a touch of minerality to the wine. The name of the wine Mandelring, is thought to come from the German word Mandel, meaning almonds, as there may have been almond trees originally planted on the site. The vineyards are cultivated as naturally as possible.
