The 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 are situated on the Mosel river, but not the Hofberg. It`s a lovely quiet side-valley on the Dhron river with weathered Devonian slate in mixture with quartzite. Riesling vines are today 30 to 65 years old and some are still ungrafted.

"You can smell how golden the grapes for this stunning Mosel riesling GG were. I love this very sensuous wine's floral delicacy and ripe pear fruit. Generous and youthful, with a silky acidity that's rare in this region, it glides over the medium-bodied palate in spite of the underlying slatey power. From 65- to 70-year-old vines. Drink or hold."
