“Medium sweet Riesling in an elegant bottle”
Wine producer Peter Mertes from the Moselle region founded his company in 1924 with the mission of making good wines accessible to as many consumers as possible, as at that time, wine consumption was mainly limited to the upper class. In the early 1950s, Peter Mertes' son-in-law Gustav Willkomm took over the business and continued with the same vision. The company is still owned by the same family and has grown to become one of the largest players in Europe. They now own approximately 100 hectares of vineyards in the Moselle region, and their barrel maturation cellar with 1500 barrels was already the largest in Germany in the 1970s. Peter Mertes is also a significant bottler of wines from various origins for private label clients.
