Weingut Lehnert-Veit

Located in the heart of the romantic Mosel, the Lehnert-Veit family has a long tradition of quality wine-growing, dating back to 1653 when Eucharius Lehnert was at the helm. These traditions have been passed on through the generations, all the way to the current 10th generation, led by Peter Lehnert (who happened to go to university with Stefan Braunewell). Their hometown of Piesport is on the bank of the Mosel and their 11 hectares of vines are around the town on both sides of the river, with some of the best sites: ‘premier crus’ Falkenberg and Günterslay as well as the jewel in the crown, the ‘grand cru’ vineyard Goldtröpfchen.

Their estate wines are the starting point for the classification of their vineyards. They are situated in carefully selected locations on exceptional soils made of quartzite, sand and slate. The soil of the Falkenberg and Günterslay ‘Erste Lagen’ have a higher proportion of rough stone, giving the pinot noirs their elegance and lightness. Finally the ‘Grosse Lage’ Goldtröpfchen is home to Lehnert-Veit’s top Rieslings. This renowned terroir has a higher proportion of fine slate at a much greater depth, giving the wine its intense minerality and roundness. Ripe, yellow summer fruits like peach, apricot and mirabelle and, depending on the year, different citrus fruits as well.

Peter says ‘Our winemaking philosophy begins in the vineyard. Integrated winegrowing, organic fertilization, low cutting, thinning of the grapes in the summer, selective harvesting, gentle aging and a fermentation with natural yeast are key. Always with an emphasis on wines of the highest quality.’

The Global Riesling Tour: A Masterclass in the World's Finest White Grape
As we celebrate International Riesling Day, it is worth remembering a sentiment famously shared by wine critic Jancis Robinson: that Riesling could quite easily claim to be the finest white grape variety in the world.
Far from being confined to the sweet, traditional styles of the past, Riesling is an incredibly versatile, global chameleon. It is a grape that thrives in extremity, producing brilliant, bone-dry wines everywhere from the steep slate banks of Germany to the rugged hills of Australia.
To showcase this unmatched ability to transmit the precise characteristics of a vineyard, we have curated a 6-bottle mixed case that tours the historic Old World heartlands of the grape, alongside a few carefully chosen New World and global counterparts.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2023 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett, Weingut Lehnert-Veit (Mosel, Germany): To drink this is to taste history. The family has been growing vines in the Mosel since 1653, and today, the 10th generation works the famed quartzite and slate soils of the 'Grosse Lage' Goldtröpfchen.
2023 Riesling Trocken, Weingut Braunewell (Rheinhessen, Germany): The Braunewell family has been making wine in Rheinhessen for over 300 years. This bone-dry, thirst-quenching expression crackles with citrus energy and intense minerality.
2023 Riesling, Domaine Marcel Deiss (Alsace, France): A textbook Alsace Riesling from a contrarian genius. Jean-Michel Deiss continues to prove why his organic field blends are some of the most compelling white wines on earth, offering notes of mandarin and pink grapefruit.
2024 Riesling, Tim Smith Wines (Eden Valley, Australia): A former cellar hand who fell in love with wine in the Rhône, Tim now crafts tiny batches of Riesling from the high country of the Eden Valley.
2024 Riesling, Manni Nössing (Alto Adige, Italy): From the deeply Alpine Eisackthal Valley in northern Italy, Manni produces just 6 hectares of crystalline, wet-stone-scented Riesling, firmly rejecting the heavy styles of his neighbours.
2023 Riesling, Moya Meaker (Elgin, South Africa): Made to pair perfectly with Japanese cuisine, this highly-rated cool-climate Riesling delivers sweet and sour flavours of Granny Smith apples and a beautifully chiselled, focused finish.
This case is designed for discovery and is a true masterclass in terroir. At under £125, it is an excellent opportunity to stock the fridge with serious, precise white wines.
We suggest adding a second case, or perhaps a bottle of your favourite red, to reach our £150 free delivery threshold and enjoy complimentary shipping.
