2023 Weiser-Kunstler - Trarbacher Riesling Trocken

The 2023er Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling Spätlese was made from fruit harvested at 92-93° Oechsle on largely un-grafted vines still trained on single pole and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (68 g/l). It immediately captures one’s attention as it reveals a comparatively rich and aromatic nose of fine exotic fruits, honey, fresh pineapple, William pear, acacia, mirabelle, plum, and cinnamon. The wine coats the palate with some juicy and slightly honeyed fruits yet leaves a fresh and nicely focused and refreshing long finish. There is good extract and presence, without any undue power. The aftertaste still needs to integrate its sweetness, which will happen in a decade or more

-Mosel Fine Wines

The Grand Cru dry wines of Weiser-Künstler are among the most cerebral dry Rieslings made in the Mosel. They are wines of meditation, wines that seem to have something more to do with distillates or teas made from stone, ore and flower. They have very little easy fruit to hang one’s hat on. In other words, they are among the most thrilling wines from this fabled place.

-Importer notes (Vom Boden)

The 2023er Trarbacher Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested at approx. 85° Oechsle and was fermented down to fruity- styled levels of residual sugar (44 g/l). It offers a superbly aromatic and attractive nose of almond cream, violet, blueberry, minty spices, and fine herbs. The wine proves nicely playful and juicy on the linear and light-weight palate. It leaves a straightforward and animating feel of refreshing fruits and citrusy elements in the nicely long and mouthwatering finish. This light, already more off-dry tasting than fully fruity, Kabinett is delicious in a fresh and direct way.

Year in and year out, this is simply one of the great Estate wines available. A swiss army knife for pairings.
