Through the centuries wine production from the estate's vineyards helped to support the school. Today the estate consists of around 25 hectares on the steep slopes of the Middle Mosel and Saar - all exclusively dedicated to Riesling. The cellars lie deep under the city of Trier - wher a stone in the foundations bears the date 1593. Here fermentation takes place in stainless steel or in traditional Mosel 'Fuder' (1000 litre barrels). The school itself changed names a number of times following its foundation, but an interesting note is that one of its more famous pupils was Trier-born Karl Marx! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Riesling grapes are sourced from the steep slatey soils of the Saar and Mosel. After careful picking and selection, the grapes are fermented in 100 litre oak Fuder and stainless steel - both parts blended later to add complexity. The wine rests on its fine lees before bottling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreat with pasta and bacon dishes, grilled fish and scallops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Profile This Riesling captivates with its fragrant aromas of ripe apricots and sun-red apples and has a wonderfully refreshing minerality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing Matches ideally pasta dishes, grilled fish, scallops with bacon, seafood and is a great company to almost every occasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744493510681,"sku":"2236882-1","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744493576217,"sku":"2236882-1","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/Fritz_Willi_Riesling_2013.jpg?v=1547805402","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/fritz-willi-riesling-2013","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
