Peter Nicolay
Peter Nicolay produces Riesling from steep vineyard sites in the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated region for the variety. The winery's portfolio centers on the aromatic, mineral-driven expressions the region is known for, with particular strength in noble rot selections. The Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Eiswein—a botrytized dessert wine—and the Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese represent the upper range of the lineup, both showcasing the concentration and complexity that Mosel's finest terroirs can achieve. A Halfdry expression from the Erdener Treppchen vineyard rounds out the core offerings, balancing residual sweetness with the acidity that defines the region's character. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have rated the portfolio.
