Wonderful ripeness to the fruit, which ranges from peach to melon, as well as a lovely fresh-mint note. Very classic and precisely balanced, the natural grape sweetness right in the background. Long and fresh, wet-stone finish. Drink or hold.

The Grand Cru Hofberg is one of the greatest Mosel vineyards. In 1868 the vineyards of this hill were classified by the Preußen 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 60 years old and some are still ungrafted.A perfect place to vinify remarkable wines. Even at a young age, the wines often show a striking exotic fruit, subtle spice, wild slate aromas and a finesse of acidity.
