This wine is dedicated to a church that was built by the Romans in honor of St. Peter, a church which Rita & Rudolph describe as the former “spiritual center of the region, whose bells filled the Moselle valley with the sound of piety for a long time.” Rudolph’s father’s planted a vineyard on the fertile hill below the ruins, and later replanted the land with Riesling vines in 2016.
“It is a special feeling to work there, to see the fragments of Roman roof tiles in the earth and feel the breath of history,” say Rita & Rudolph.
