AboutNik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof
Nik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof is a family Riesling estate founded in Leiwen in 1947. Its roughly 45 hectares follow the Mosel and Saar for about 60 kilometres, taking in steep slate vineyards with different soils and exposures. Nik Weis leads the property in its third generation, continuing the nursery and winegrowing work begun by his grandfather.
The estate joined the VDP in 2000 and works five sites classified as VDP.Grosse Lage, as well as old-vine parcels for its village wines. Fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts.

German White

Lemon candy and tangerine peel lead the nose, sharpened by earthy tones and dried savoury herbs. The palate is bright and citrus-driven, with semi-sweet fruit held in balance by zesty lime acidity. A light astringent grip adds shape to the finish, keeping the wine brisk, focused and refreshing.
Nik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof 2014 Wiltinger Alte Reben Riesling
German White
$44.99
Bright and flinty on the nose, with lavender lifting the wine’s delicate fruit. The palate is lean, precise and elegant, balancing gentle off-dry sweetness with salty minerality and clear acidity. Dried peach, glazed apricot and a touch of smoke broaden the profile, while slate, white pepper and sea salt extend the finish.
