Heinrichshof

Mosel Riesling from Zeltingen's storied Sonnenuhr vineyard.

Heinrichshof produces Rieslings from the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated region for the variety. The winery's portfolio centers on the steep, slate-rich vineyards of Zeltingen, where the Sonnenuhr site—whose name means "sun dial"—captures the precise angles of sun exposure that define Mosel terroir. The Schlossberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr bottlings, both in dry and late-harvest expressions, demonstrate the range possible within the region's cool-climate framework. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. Riesling from the Mosel typically expresses mineral precision and acidity, with noble rot selections like Trockenbeerenauslese offering concentrated stone fruit and honeyed complexity. Heinrichshof's work reflects the technical demands of the region: managing ripeness in a marginal climate while preserving the aromatic intensity and structure that define the finest Mosel expressions.
