We had an exceptionally warm spring which was the reason for the earliest budding and grape bloom since notations of these dates! The consequence was a margin of vegetation of about 3 weeks. The summer was marked by rainy and constantly changing weather. Terrible hail on August 26th was again a reason for scepticism and made us assume the worst. After all the great damage in the villages, the damage in the vineyards was comparitively low, After that, we had a beautiful late summer. At the end and apart from the hail, everything was perfect: an early budding and bloom and rain always at the right time! So we started harvest at the end of September. We had 4 weeks without any rain and this gave us some time to preharvest all of our Riesling vineyards and sort out the raisins from the bunches and the good from the best grapes. This was very time consuming in the 70% steep sloped parcels. Now the harvest is history and we have all quality levels, from Kabinett up to Trockenbeerenauslese. The wines were bottled at the beginning of May and show great promise.

This wine comes from the world renowned vineyards of Piesporter Michelsberg in the middle of Mosel Valley.

Great on its own and will pair well with a wide array of foods including fish and pasta with cream sauce, sushi, slightly spicy cuisine and saltier cheeses.

An off-dry style with apple and citrus flavors, coupled with fresh acidity to produce a balanced wine
