Description
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."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Grand Cru Hofberg is one of the greatest Mosel vineyards. In 1868, the vineyards of this hill were classified by the Prussians as an extraordinary place to make great Rieslings. The main part of the vineyards in the Mosel are situated on the Mosel river. But not Hofberg, it's on a quiet side valley on the Dhron river with soils of weathered Devonian slate mixed with quartzite. Sangerei is a parcel in the Hofberg vineyard. Vegan.
