    • Fahrfels Riesling

      The Farhfels vineyard is a rocky ledge situated between two other vineyards: Trittenheimer Apotheke and Trittenheimer Altarchen.  The vines are 110 years old.  Wine Advocate wrote of the 2004 vintage, “A wine of extraordinary concentration, complexity and cellar potential.  Aromas of muskmelon, grapefruit and purple plum lead into a glossy, rich yet bright palate.  Terrifically slate-saturated, shimmering in its diverse citrus and mineral interplay, piquant, and bittersweetly nutty, this offers a depth, clarity, and finishing length that feel like a plummet from the height of the Farhfels down into the Mosel.”

      Coming from the blue slate slopes of the Trittenheimer Altärchen, this is a classic Mosel Kabinett that combines citrus and stone fruits with lightness in body and alcohol with wonderful minerality on the finish.

      This Spätlese comes from the Trittenheimer Apotheke vineyard, a site known for its steepness and pure blue slate minerality that shines in the wines.  This classic Spätlese has aromas of tangerine and flowers.  On the palate, intense peach and
      orange flavors combine with a good acidic backbone for a clean finish.
