Hofberg:
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.

"I love the effusive aromas of floral honey and mangosteens that make this very succulent and concentrated Auslese so enticing and exciting. In spite of all the power and the full body, this is wonderfully fresh, and it slowly turns drier as it flows off in the direction of the horizon. As delicious as this is now, it has great aging potential if you have the patience. Drink or hold."
