Description

1976 was an incredible vintage in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer with perfect ripening conditions and an abundance of noble rot for the later harvested BA and TBA Rieslings. This particular wine attained legendary status when acclaimed wine expert Michael Broadbent bestowed it with a six star rating rather than his usual maximum of five.

About this wine

The year was particularly favorable for botrytis, allowing for the creation of a wine with profound sweetness, complex aromatics, and a requisite balance of acidity – a true masterpiece of German winemaking. A rich tapestry of honeyed peaches, apricot, and quince juxtaposed with a lively acidity and a mineral backbone, finishing long and sweet with a complex assortment of spices and citrus zest.
