Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Riesling Zeppelin 2025

Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Riesling Zeppelin 2025 is a lively, half-sweet Riesling from the renowned Mülheimer Sonnenlay vineyard in Germany’s Mosel region. Defined by bright fruit, refreshing acidity and a distinct blue-slate minerality, it also carries a fascinating historical connection to Count Zeppelin and the legendary Graf Zeppelin airship. A charming expression of traditional Mosel Riesling, it balances sweetness and freshness with ease.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a delicate straw-yellow colour with youthful greenish highlights. Its expressive bouquet combines citrus, crisp apple and ripe apricot with subtle pear, honey and pronounced mineral notes reminiscent of cool slate. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with a gently sweet character balanced by lively acidity. Fruit-driven flavours of pear, citrus and apricot lead to a pleasantly persistent finish with a refined mineral edge. Enjoyable in its youth for its freshness and aromatic charm, the wine also has an estimated ageing potential of around five to ten years. With time, its fruit may develop greater depth while retaining the characteristic tension and elegance of Mosel Riesling.

Production
The grapes are sourced from Mülheimer Sonnenlay, a respected Mosel vineyard known for its blue-slate soils. This terroir contributes a distinctive mineral character and helps preserve the freshness and aromatic intensity of the Riesling. The wine is made with a focus on expressing the natural fruit and origin of the grapes, resulting in a harmonious half-sweet white wine with a fine balance between softness and acidity.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at approximately 8–12°C. Its combination of gentle sweetness and lively acidity makes it particularly well suited to Asian and oriental cuisine, spicy dishes, fish, light meats and aromatic poultry. Try it with duck breast and mango chutney, mildly spicy preparations or a selection of mature cheeses. Decanting is generally not necessary; simply open shortly before serving to allow the aromas to unfold.

Producer
Founded in 1680, Weingut Max Ferd. Richter is one of the historic estates of the Mosel and has been producing Riesling for more than three centuries. The winery is closely associated with the region’s slate vineyards and with an estate style that highlights purity, freshness and site expression. The Zeppelin Riesling pays tribute to the area’s vinous heritage and to the reported tradition of serving these wines aboard Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s famous airship, the Graf Zeppelin.
