2021 Weingut Karthauserhof Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany

Winemaker Notes

Weingut Reinhold Haart lies only a few meters from the Mosel river, on the romantic,
peaceful Ausonius riverbank. Immediately behind the family’s estate, the Piesporter
Goldtröpfchen vineyard begins its uphill climb, and only a few steps from the winery are the remains of the first and oldest Roman grape pressing house that has been unearthed along the Mosel. The Haart family’s viticultural tradition has been documented since 133

Winter 2021 was overall cold, humid and also lasted a bit longer than in the previous two
years. Rainfall in Spring was good and peaked in a memorable July, where we had 130% more rain considering the long-term average. The Summer remained relatively cool and pure blue skies were a rarely seen picture. Stats don’t lie: April, May, July and August were all below the long-term-average in terms of temperature! No surprise that the harvest was kicked-off late.

Delicate bouquet of ripe peach and tropical fruits, mixed with the fresh slate aroma typical for Mosel-Riesling. Complex fruit on the palate with blackcurrant, red berries and spices. The mineral acidity keeps the balance of fruit and sweetness.
