So, named as it was the wine served on the Transatlantic Zeppelin Flights. In the Zeppelin`s heyday of the 1920s and `30s, Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling was the wine most often poured on grand transatlantic flights. Previously, it was to be found in Queen Elizabeth`s cellars and was served on State occasions. `Sonnen` means sunshine and `lay` is old German for slate. This idyllic terroir gives the wine zesty apple and peach flavours and a concentrated mineral structure.
The estate of Max Ferd. Richter has been passed down from father to son for 9 generations (300 years). The current reins are held by Dr. Dirk Richter, eventually to be passed down to his son Constantin. Max Ferd. Richter produces world class Rieslings from some of the most esteemed vineyards in the Mosel, each of which is an estate holding.
