Germany 2007

Download Opening Offer & Tasting Notes (October 2008)

Questions have been raised in the press as to whether the traditional Mosel style of low alcohol, off dry, refreshing Kabinetts and Spätlese wines could ever be produced again in this era of global warming. 2007 has provided the answer with what Christoph Schaefer described as “A classic Riesling vintage with minerality and balance”. “We are all happy”, added Martin Kerpen, and “It is a quintessential Mosel vintage,’ according to Dirk Richter. We love the balance and elegance in the Kabinett and Spätlese wines and also the very clean, pure botrytis in the few higher prädikat wines that were produced. This offer concentrates on the Mosel (including Saar and Ruwer whose wines are now lumped in the general Mosel region as opposed to the old Mosel-Saar-Ruwer designation) together with those from arguably Germany’s greatest grower, Helmut Dönnhoff of the Nahe, and the slightly fuller wines of the Rheingau and Gunderloch, just across the Rhein at Nackenheim in the Rheinhessen.
