Special characteristic
  • Contains sulphites

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Long period of maceration (skin contact) followed by gentle pressing, then fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of around 15°C. The wine spent time on its fine lees before being bottled and released for sale.

Compact and full-bodied on the palate, with good zip, tremendous purity, and an electrifying finish. Quite masculine.

Dhroner Hofberg – a classic steep slope situated in a side valley between Trittenheim and Piesport – is one of the best vineyards on the Mittelmosel. The vines in this exclusively south-facing site with a 30-to-60-degree incline enjoy adequate rainfall all year round, resulting in spicy, richly expressive wines of power and finesse.
