Walt Riesling, Pfalz

In 1897, in Wiesbaden the firm Walter S. Siegel was started by its eponymous founder. Having acquired vineyards in Westhofen in Rheinhessen, the company was formed to sell his own wines, as well as various prestigious estates in other regions. In 1937 Herr Siegel’s son, Hans, formed Walter S. Siegel Ltd in London with England Test Cricketer Ian Peebles through which they imported wines from Germany and France. With a doff-of-the-cap to the Siegel name, this Riesling was born. This medium-bodied Riesling has lovely flavours of peach and stone, with a hint of apricot.
