Dr. Lippold

Mosel Riesling from the prestigious Ürziger Würzgarten Grand Cru.

Dr. Lippold produces Riesling from the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated cool-climate region. The winery's portfolio centers on the Ürziger Würzgarten Grand Cru Weltersberg vineyard, a site that yields wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The dry Riesling, Spätlese, and Auslese expressions from this terroir have been assessed by Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, with the dry cuvée reaching particular distinction. Mosel Rieslings are defined by their balance of acidity, subtle sweetness, and stone-fruit character—qualities that emerge from the region's slate soils and steep riverside slopes. Dr. Lippold's focus on a single grand cru site reflects the German tradition of vineyard-specific expression, where vintage variation and harvest timing shape the final wine. The range from dry to late-harvest styles offers insight into how a single vineyard responds to different picking moments.
