Weingut Fitz-Ritter | Durkheimer Hochbenn Riesling Brut – NV

Detailed Description

Invigorating acidity and crisp citrus and apple flavors shine in this sparkling Riesling. The mousse is elegant and smooth, brightened by tiny, persistent bubbles that seem to disseminate pops of caramel and honey sweetness.

Producer Information

The winery is in the heart of Bad Dürkheim with great history and deep connection to the region. Under one roof Fitz-Ritter unites a renowned VDP.Weingut and the oldest sparkling wine cellar of the Palatinate. The sprawling estate with the classicist manor house and the award-winning Gutspark lie in the middle of the Ritterlage house and characterize the townscape. The winery Fitz-Ritter can look back on a turbulent history like hardly any other existing Palatine winery. It has remained in the same family since its construction and is now run by the Fitz family in its ninth generation. With the 230-year tradition always in view, new concepts and innovations are cultivated. Johannes Fitz, who decisively influenced the Vormärz era by his participation in the Hambach Festival in 1832, was followed by other ancestors as members of parliament in the first German parliament. Johann Fitz, who studied in Berkeley, California, took over the winery in 2007 from Konrad Fitz, who helped his business with his wife Alice to gain international recognition over the last 40 years.
