2020 A.J. Adam Dhron Hofberg 'In der Sängerei' Riesling Feinherb

100% sustainable Riesling. The wine is fermented spontaneously in a mixture of large Fuder and stainless stainless-steel. Andreas Adam and his sister Barbara farm this rocky, gray-slate parcel in the famous Dhroner Hofberg vineyard, a grand cru vineyard abandoned after the 1960’s as too steep and expensive to work. Dhron is a tributary that empties into the Mosel on its right bank before the curve into Piesport. Grapes are picked weeks later than most Mosel sites and have a much lower sugar ripeness.  

95 points, Mosel Fine Wines. "The 2020er in der Sengerei, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is an off-dry wine fermented in Fuder from vines still raised on single pole in this prime Gewann (classified “dark red” on old Prussian taxation maps) situated high up in the main hill of the Dhroner Hofberg. It offers a stunning nose made of pear, quince, candied lemon, whipped cream, floral elements, earthy spices, and smoky elements. The wine is stunningly playful and elegant on the palate and leaves a ravishing feel of spicy fruits, aniseed herbs, and tart minerals in the hugely long and playful finish. The combination of presence, finesse, and persistence is truly remarkable! Now-2034."
