Dhroner 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 in the Mosel 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 mixed with quartzite. Riesling vines are today 30 to 65 years old and some are still ungrafted.

Winemaking Notes:
The vineyards for this wine are located deep in the Dhron valley. Sun comes out late in the morning and settles early. Perfect microclimate for our Hofberg Kabinett! The
grapes from the 30-year-old vines from this part of the Hofberg are fermented spontaneously in big stainless steel tanks.
