Max Ferd. Richter winery produces this classic off-dry Mosel Riesling from the Mulheimer Sonnenlay vineyard.  The bottle features a beautiful Art Deco label depicting the Zeppelin airships upon which this Riesling was served in the 1920s and 30s.

"The Mülheimer Sonnenlay is the largest single Richter vineyard and the source of the world-renowned “Zeppelin” Riesling. The vineyard sits on the west-southwestern side of a slate stone hill south of Mülheim, a dry riverbed formed during the last ice age 250,000 years ago. The name of the vineyard– Sonne (sunshine) and lay (slate stone) –perfectly describes the characteristics of the site. This often extremely steep vineyard has a loose slate stone soil structure that is enriched by pebbles, loam and sand deposited by the ancient river. This kind of soil creates wines that combine typical slate stone mineral character with animated and elegant fruitiness."

"Wines from the Mülheimer Sonnenlay were served on the luxurious Zeppelin airships -including the Hindenburg - in the 1920s and 30s. Local growers, proud of this distinction, commissioned Bauhaus artist Hans Schlösser to design a label for the wine incorporating the iconic Zeppelin airship. The label is still featured today."
