This winery has been in the Weis family for centuries, but it was only in 1947 that they replanted the vines and moved their way into making wine. Nicolaus Weis, who founded the production, pioneered the winery forward, and when his son, Hermann, took over in the 1960's, they were already on their way to great things. Hermann continued to build their nursery, becoming one of the largest in Germany, which marked Hermann as one of the best vine breeders around, especially in regards to Riesling. It wasn't long before Hermann's started to expand, and he was the first person to introduce Vitis Vinifera to Ontario, planting the first batch of Riesling in what now is Vine Land Winery. His Son, Nic, joined the production in 1997, and since then, they reduced their vineyard holdings by selling off their lesser quality patches. Nic started to use only the oldest part of the vineyard to produce this wine, and with wild fermentation, the quality of this wine is outstanding for its value. This Riesling is fresh and vibrant, with that traditional Mosel minerality. With notes of orchard fruit, blossom, citrus and wet rock, it is the perfect companion for any meal.
