Weingut Max Ferd. Richter

The estate of MAX FERD.RICHTER has been in the ownership of the family for more than 300 years. Today this enterprise is one of the leading producers of top Rieslings in the heart of the central Mosel, with total holdings of 40 acres and an annual production of about 10,500 cases.

MAX FERD.RICHTER not only produces fine Rieslings which are well known throughout the world, such as "Wehlener Sonnenuhr", "Graacher Himmelreich" and "Brauneberger Juffer", but also two top-quality monopoles: "Mülheimer Helenenkloster" and "Veldenzer Elisenberg". The possession of these vineyards dates from 1813 when one of the ancestors, by his personal courage, succeeded in preventing the plundering of Mülheim by Emperor Napoleon I.

MAX FERD.RICHTER supplies a large variety of single vineyard wines. The terroir of their steep vineyard sites is generally fresh weathering grey slate with different compositions of ferruginous (Brauneberg), mineral quartz (Veldenz) or clay parts (Graach, Wehlen, Mülheim); those make the character and flavour.
