Trossen Hubertus 2022 750ml

An exciting new addition to the Trossen Riesling range, Hubertus comes from the Kinheimer Hubertuslay, the same south-facing grey and blue slate vineyard as his famous Lay (see above), but the plots were harvested separately.

Grapes: Riesling

Vineyard: Kinheimer Hubertuslay, south-facing grey and blue slate steep slope above the Mosel river. Old vines on stakes, biodynamically farmed by Rudolf himself. 45-year-old vines.

Making of: hand-harvested, gently pressed and then spontaneously fermented and rested for 7 months on full lees in very old Mosel Fuders. No filtration, no fining, no added sulphur at any moment.

Personality: oh my, what a wine! It’s so incredibly juicy and drinkable, full of great energy, that you almost finish the bottle before discovering all the exciting layers of taste that the wine has – and there are many. Pure pleasure, a wine to be shared and marveled at with fellow wine lovers. It’s delicate, spicy, and incredibly fresh. Think Mirabelle, citrus, minerality, hints of cinnamon and clove.
