2019 Weingut A.J. Adam Dhroner Hofberg Riesling Kabinett Mosel, Germany

Details

The Grand Cru Hofberg is one of the great Mosel vineyards. In 1868 the vineyards of this hill were classified by the Prussians as an extraordinary place to make great Rieslings. The main part of the vineyards in our region are situated on the Mosel river. But not the Hofberg. It`s a lovely quiet side-valley on the Dhron river with weathered Devonian slate in mixture with quartzite. Riesling vines are today 30 to 65 years old and some are still ungrafted. The grapes from the 30 year old vines from this part of the Hofberg are fermented spontaneously in big stainless steel tanks.
