“At the turn of the 20th century, Sparkling Riesling from the Moselle river valley was more esteemed in the USA than their French rivals and legendary throughout the world. Sparkling Rieslings triumphed at the world exhibitions of Philadelphia 1876, Melbourne 1880, and Paris 1900. The judges highly praised the firm, minerality and complex elegance, fine effervescence and the balanced style of these wines.”
