2012  Riesling Eitelsbacher

One of the oldest & most prestigious estates in Germany. The estate was officially founded in 1335! Gloriously austere & ageworthy. Green apple, some tropical notes, rounded, creamy texture, citrus peel, super fresh & super balanced, delicious! Very high acidity keeps the 45g/l of residual sugar well in check.

2012  Vom Stein, Federspiel

2011  Spatlese, Dry

100% Riesling. Dry. 12.5% alcohol. Opens with a whiff of kerosene. Focused and precise, rather full-bodied for a Mosel, but very nice. nicely balanced sweetness with acidity. In 1997 Thomas Haag bought the estate. He is the son of Wilhelm Haag, proprietor of the Fritz Haag estate. The estate is now comprised of seven hectares (17.5 acres) of vineyard which are 100% planted to Riesling. The vineyards are some of the steepest on the Middle Mosel with grades up to 70%. Thomas strives to make wines with ripe acid structure, vibrant and petillant palate, with the pure expression of fruit - racy and light.

2014  

100% Riesling. Great riesling with an aromatic fruit profile tending more towards the middle - pear & some peach skin. A little grip, suggesting there might have been some skin contact. Medium+ acidity. Nice weight. 10.5% abv. Dry!

2008  Erbacher Marcobrunn

This is the oldest estate in Germany under continuous family ownership: 27 generations spanning over 650 years. No other estate in the Rheingau possesses such a bevy of fine vineyards as this highly traditional property in Hattenheim, writes Joel Payne. Indeed, their formidable holdings of 50ha in the Rheingau comprise choice parcels in 38 vineyards, which include virtually all of the top sites of the appellation. Most have been in the family’s care since 1349; several fabulous sites, like the grand cru Erbacher Marcobrunn, were added in the 17th and 18th centuries. Ninety percent of the production is Riesling. Yields are exceptionally low and the best wines are aged in monumental 100-year-old casks.
