Renard‘s signature is wines that are dense and compact, yet they have so much presence, so many layers, so many unique angles and crevices. They are glossy and porcelain-smooth, exquisitely balanced and seamless; they are woven by gossamer threads of citrus oil, mint and salt.
There is a magical play of reduction and oxidation in these wines (in this manner they are very similar to the wines of Jonas Dostert). The extreme inward-looking force of the wines (early picking, high acidity) is pulled outward and sheened into a satiny texture by the extended elevage, the fine lees polishing these wines into ultra-fine textures. Wines like this make it seem as if the Mosel and Rheinhessen and the Jura shared an ancient ancestor.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2024 Riesling (the reference to the name is, as usual for this Estate, only provided on the back label) with lot number L: 24R is a bone-dry wine made from the few grapes the Estate could harvest in its vineyards in Winningen in 2024. It was fermented and aged on its gross and fine lees in oak for 11 months and stainless steel for 6 months without any intervention before being bottled unfiltered and with a little SO2 added. This hay- yellow-colored wine offers a gorgeous nose made of citrus, white peach, mirabelle, herbs, and a whiff of natural funk in the background. The wine is beautifully playful and precise on the palate, where tart spiciness enhances the citrusy elements. The finish is alluring, precise, focused, and mouthwatering. This is a great dry Riesling with just a whiff of “natural” to add complexity. | No. 81 July 2026 |
