ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Weingut UNTERLIND was founded in 2019 by the visionary duo Heiner Bollig and Veronika Bollig-Lintner. Heiner, who has served as the head winemaker at Egon Müller for over a decade, brings a fresh and innovative perspective to the wines of this iconic region. He and Veronika are dedicated to producing exceptional Rieslings that capture the distinctive essence of the Mosel Valley. Embracing a minimalist philosophy, they aim to craft wines that reflect the true character of the region. With their fresh energy and modern perspective, they have quickly garnered attention from wine enthusiasts. Apotheke is their signature site, where they farm six different parcels from the eastern to western edges of the vineyard. The exposition of the vines ranges west, and the late afternoon sun makes for wines that are delicate in their youth, even shy, with great elegance. Apotheke is perhaps best understood in its youth as a Spätlese. The extra weight and residual sugar add beautiful roundness and dimension to the intensely savory character of the vineyard, without sacrificing precision. This is a crystalline Spätlese.
