Mosel Terraces | Winningen

Matthias Knebel has become synonymous with the revolution in German wine quality. His fidelity to painstaking, handwrought viticulture in the unique landscape of the Mosel Terraces yields extraordinary results across his range, from a ridiculously undervalued village bottling to the magnificent GGs. The wines, from one of the most dynamic yet overlooked regions in Germany, deliver unadulterated intensity with an emphasis on texture, minerality, purity, and superb finesse.

Knebel 2015 Hamm Riesling

Hamm sits closer to the village of Winningen. It is comprised of Devonian slate site with clay and quartzite. The wines here are usually a touch lighter in body and tend to drink a bit earlier. 1500L were fermented in steel and 500L were fermented in Acacia barrels, which Matthias is gradually adding back into the cellar. It shows white peach, mint, wintergreen and cayenne pepper. With just 6 grams residual sugar, it is a near perfect dry Mosel riesling.
