✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from steep hillside plots along the cool Saar river valley, this estate dry Riesling draws its character from decomposed Devonian slate bedrock. The vines endure high diurnal temperature fluctuations and late autumn ripening, yielding pristine fruit harvested under strict sustainability standards. Cellar work emphasizes minimal intervention, utilizing spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks alongside large neutral oak casks to preserve the variety's brisk, site-specific mineral profile without oak flavor intrusion.
🍾 About the Producer
Dating back to 1627 as an ecclesiastical estate, Weingut Reverchon transitioned into private hands in 1685 before being acquired in 1921 by the Reverchon banking family, who established its Swiss-chalet manor house and vaulted slate cellars. Located in Konz-Filzen within the Saar subregion of the Mosel, the historic property entered a renaissance in 2007 under entrepreneur Hans Maret alongside winemaker Ralph Herke. Reverchon stewards approximately 20 hectares of steep vineyards dominated by weathered Devonian slate soils, a cool climate, and prolonged ripening cycles. Viticulture is certified sustainable under Fair'n Green, banning herbicides and pesticides while emphasizing gentle pruning. Vinification relies on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and neutral Stockinger oak casks. Reverchon is celebrated for crystalline, terroir-driven Saar Rieslings and traditional-method vintage sparkling wines, highlighted by its signature monopole Filzener Herrenberg and grand cru parcels in the Ockfener Bockstein.
