  • Weingut Von Othegraven (Kanzem – Saar)
    Mosel Fine Wines “The Independent Review of Mosel Riesling” By Jean Fisch and David Rayer von Othegraven Weingut von Othegraven (Kanzem – Saar) Andreas Barth is quite smitten by the quality of the 2017 vintage, which proved again quite extraordinary in its development: “Bud break in the Saar was not particularly early and the very early harvest was a surprise for everybody. The frost did hit us, but not as much as some of my colleagues in the Middle Mosel or at my own Estate in the Terrassenmosel. We suffered yield losses equally through evaporation in the autumn as the grape skins became quite porous. In the end, we lost roughly 25% versus a normal vintage. We started our harvest earlier than in recent vintages, at the end of September, because we wanted to keep the freshness and elegance of a real Kabinett, i.e. 80° Oechsle plus minus 1-2°, which was again possible. The ripening process was no longer that big in October, which proved somewhat surprising given that the vines had still their foliage. This was however a godsend gift as we could harvest until the end of October and thereby had the time to make the necessary selections for our different bottlings. We also made some botrytis selections, which yielded several Auslese as well as one TBA. Overall, 2017 proves a beautiful and very expressive vintage with great vibrant acidity, in particular in the fruity wines.” The Estate was able to produce its full portfolio, including an auction Kabinett and Spätlese from the Kanzemer Altenberg as well as GG bottlings from the Altenberg and Bockstein.

On September 20, in the elegant surroundings of the Kurfürstliches Palais in Trier, guests will be able to discover not only the exciting 2011 vintage but also selected fine wines from previous decades. Due to the sunny and dry spring the vines had a lead of almost a month to blossom. We have been spared by May frosts and the quite streaky summer ensured that there was neither aridity nor extreme heat.
