The Erdener Treppchen is one of the most legendary vineyard sites on the Mosel and was already an active vineyard in Roman times. The iron-rich, red slate soil gives the Rieslings grown here their very own intense minerality and race. The Kabinett Fass - 6 - still comes from rootless vines and was fermented spontaneously in the classic Mosel Fuder. On the nose, the Treppchen Kabinett presents itself with fine nuances of flowers, yellow fruits and a smoky minerality. The palate is hit by an intense freshness with delicate tart minerality and beguiling aromas of apricot, vineyard peach and black berries. The brilliant acid structure lends its carefree lightness to the delicate sweetness. Clearly shows origin and terroir!

Great wine! Great everything! Some residual sugar, but everything else is perfect! Long finish, balanced, nectarine, petrol. Just a super wine especially considering the price.

Beautiful aromas and bright citrus on this perfectly aged off dry Mosel Riesling. Flint, citrus, white flowers, melon and light light petrol. Medium - acidity, low alcohol, long finish.

Half-bottle A family with an almost thousand-year history in the Middle Mosel, and they own a good chunk of the prime Wehlener Sonnenuhr too. World-class, globally-revered wine of impeccable class. Highly sought-after, always on strict worldwide allocation.

An ancient former monastic wine estate on the famous Maximin Grünhaus hill in the Ruwer, where wine has been made for 2000 years or so. Three of the region’s top vineyards, for which von Schubert are world-famous, sit on this hill: Herrenberg; Bruderberg; Abstberg. Von Schubert's wines are taut, mineral, deft and delightful - perfect classics of their style.

Steely, lime, peach, mineral, rounded, feminine exotic fruits and floral. Jancis "lively and still quite full, viscous... overlay of spicy minerality"

One of the Mosel's top vineyards (literally - Heaven's Kingdom, it's high!). Plump juicy white fruit, all the stony mineral and blossom notes are in place.

This monopole is a southwest-facing vineyard slope of just two acres. The vineyard was planted in 1964, but the first historic record dates back to 30th April 1245! The vineyard was dedicated by the Count of Veldenz to the nearby convent from which it took its name “Helenenkloster” (St. Helene’s convent.) It offers a rather aromatic nose made of vineyard peach, apricot blossom and fine spicy elements. The wine is subtly creamy yet also beautifully light-footed on the palate and leaves a direct feel of herbs, fruits and spices in the animating and persistent finish. Flavours of apricot add a touch of weight to the aftertaste.

Delicious Riesling, exotic and mineral, concentrated aromas and flavours of pear, pineapple and honey. Grapes come from Brauneberger Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr - one of the most prestigious vineyards in the Mosel winegrowing region. The vineyard faces south and provides the best conditions for growing Riesling.

Still extremely youthful but with hints of a complex cocktail of passion fruit and minerals to come. Grainy texture on the finish. This is a baby! Super-clean finish.

Impossibly ancient family grower, great vintage, epic vineyard. Clear, cool, joyous.

In such a hot vintage such a spaetlese is of Auslese intensity. Impossibly succulent, like an over-ripe pear, with mint and mineral notes, cool and bright with tight lime acidity. My personal fave vineyard for Pauly wines when young. Impossible ancient family grower, exceptional best-in-a-generation vintage.

The 2021 Elisenberger Kabinett enchants as usual with its classic red and dark berry bouquet of cassis and ripe red berries. Excitingly charged on the palate with almost clashing acidity, suitably fruity balanced. Shows a lot of juicy, fresh tension with the best drinking animation and that with great lightness in alcohol and body.

Mosel Eiswein becomes rarer as the climate warms. What a joy - lashings of richness and plump zesty ripe citrus fruit. Amazing value. Impossible ancient family grower

Ripplingly good value. Candied fruits and honeyed richness. Impossible ancient family grower.

Fresh, delicate aroma of apple blossoms and a hint of citrus and slate. An animating, enjoyable and juicy Riesling with crystal clear mineral texture; excellent balance of aromatic sweetness and racy fruit acid.

Rare is it to have a wine of such impeccable balance that it becomes impossible to break it down into its individual elements. Even more rare is to have that wine be a Spätlese. Yet there we are. And here it is. Cool, radiant aromas of pure citrus sunshine. Meadow flowers, vineyard peach and through it all a long, thriving stony energy. A cool site, in a cool year. As only the Mosel can do. 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW

Weissburgunder is the German name for the Pinot Blanc grape variety and is enjoying a rennaissance. Not much planted in the Mosel valley so this one from Richter is a rarity. Fine notes of pear, gooseberry, some hay and classic slate minerals. Slim and elegant!

Lovely ripe lime and slate nose, classic balance of sweetness and steely acidity, lifting, intense and astonishing value.

Strong and substantial selection with impressive fruit and an animating interplay of sweetness and acidity. »Tastes great with Asian dishes, pies and fruity desserts.

What is classic Mosel? It can hardly get steeper and slatier than at the Doctor site and to many Mosel aficionados no wine represents the region better than a Kabinett. Erben Thanisch’s Kabinett ticks all the boxes with a great diversity of fruit on nose and palate, none of it exaggerated, but presented with moderation and finesse. It takes a little more however to stand out from the rest, and the Doctor Kabinett manages that task with fine spices and mineral aplomb. (MS) 17.5/20 Wine to drink 2022-2030 Jancis Robinson MW
