Edition Abtei Himmerod Riesling Trocken 2020 750ml

The wine presents a vibrant and sophisticated bouquet, brimming with stone fruit aromatics—peach and apricot—alongside bright citrus and green apple notes. The palate delivers an exquisite balance of fruit-forward character and refined minerality, where subtle sweetness harmonizes with elegant restraint, creating a wine of considerable versatility. This dry Riesling excels as an aperitif or paired with lighter cuisine, showcasing the precision and finesse expected from quality German winemaking.

The wine originates from a distinguished family estate with deep roots in German viticulture. Founded in 1924 by Peter Mertes, the winery began modestly in Minheim on the Moselle before expanding its horizons under the stewardship of his son Gustave Willkie. Through systematic exploration of Germany's premier wine regions—the Rhine, Rheingau, and Nahe—the family established themselves as serious producers across multiple terroirs by 1960. This heritage of regional expertise and commitment to quality viticulture is evident in every bottle, with the Edition Abtei Himmerod line representing the pinnacle of the family's winemaking philosophy and dedication to authentic German Riesling expression.
