The hillsides were simply too steep to cultivate a vineyard. It wasn’t until the Prussian military and its explosives arrived in the 1820s that terraces could be formed on the steep hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume of black powder shot off here is why it’s just a “Röttgen”, or “little clearing”... they certainly had a sense of humour! - \u003cstrong\u003eReinhard Löwenstein\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich, smoky and exotic, this is a very unusual, but also very beautiful dry Mosel wine. Succulent and almost soft, there’s an underlying spicy fascination on the medium- to full-bodied palate. In spite of the low acidity, this is concentrated and really long. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification.
