Has’Chen

Has’Chen, a Monopole, is an east-facing steep slope on the west bank of the Mosel and still planted with old un-grafted vines.” This tiny 0.3 ha vineyard oversees the Mosel and is on a rather stony soil of grey slate. 2014 was the first vintage of this vineyard at the Andreas’ hands and he produced right from the start a stunning dry wine full of character and presence: “We decided to use this east-facing vineyard for lighter styled wines. The first vintage, which we made from fruit harvested at a modest 89° Oechsle, showed us the potential of the vineyard. The wine is elegant, without being unnecessary showy, and in nice contrast to the more ostentatious wines from the Dhroner Hofberg on the other side of the Mosel.”
