    Profile
    We are very proud of our monopole VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Josephshöfer – and this off-dry Kabinett in particular is such an interesting example of the site’s pedigree: exquisite Mosel Riesling showing a fresh note of vineyard peach, orange zest and a touch of lemon grass, followed by slightly spicy, herbal hints, with acidity and ripe fruit in fine, elegant balance.

    Pairs beautifully with...
    Mild curry dishes; Asian algae salad; Japanese ramen; fish or shellfish prepared in various styles and to various levels of spiciness.

    The year started very wet with what seemed like three months of non-stop rain.
    Spring was warm and dry – ideal conditions for an early bud burst.
    Continuation: In Summer weather improved day by day. Only our youngest vines were a little less happy, as their roots have not yet reached the necessary depth to get through dry periods completely unscathed.
    When harvest-time came nature spoiled us with heavenly conditions and a “golden autumn”. Our fruit was outstanding at all quality and Prädikat wine levels. We were fortunate enough to select Trockenbeerenauslesen – the pinnacle of any vintage – from a number of different sites. The extra warmth resulting in exceptional levels of ripeness, flavour and minerality as well as excellent quantities.
    Summary: A sun-blessed year of superlatives!
