Dr. Dirk Richter of Max Ferdinand Richter – Spotlight Interview

Today we are featuring an interview with Dirk Richter from Max Ferdinand Richter, who gives his take on three excellent selections from this historic winery. This winery has a history spanning over a century of growing Riesling grapes.

The winemakers at Richter believe that great wine comes from the vineyard, not the cellar. With this in mind they strive for precision in their daily viticultural work. The challenge of cultivating vines on the steep, slate slopes of Mosel is overcome by fastidious handwork, small crop sizes, all-natural fertilizers and sustainable farming practices. Additionally, all harvesting is done by hand. Vinification starts with gentle pressing and slow temperature controlled fermentation in traditional old oak barrels (fuders). This careful, deliberate process preserves the vineyard-grown quality of the grapes, develops the unique character of the single-vineyard cuvees, and to gives Richter wines exceptional longevity.
