JAN MATTHIAS KLEIN Mosel, Germany
JAN MATTHIAS KLEIN Mosel, Germany Staffelter Hof first appears in texts from in 862 AD. At almost 1,200 years old, it is one of the oldest companies of any kind in the world. The vineyard holdings span 11.5ha (10.2ha planted) of diverse vineyards such as Paradies, Kirchlay, Letterlay, Steffensberg, and as far south as the Dhroner Hofberg. The winery itself is located in Kröv, a village in the heart of the middle Mosel on a sweeping 180⁰ curve of the river between the old, quiet winemaking villages of Wolf and Kinheim. This is not a hotbed of avant-garde creativity. Yet Jan Matthias Klein, a 7th generation winemaker at this estate, is doing something extraordinary here, crafting naturweine the likes of which have rarely been seen in the history of the Mosel. After stages in France, New Zealand, and Australia, Jan came home Müller-Thurgau “Sandersstruck” 2019 and steered his family’s winery into quixotic efforts of viticulture being 12/750ml explored by the younger generation in the Mosel.

Sommelier's Selection
SOMMELIER’S SELECTION WHITE The Viognier grape is famous in Northern Rhône in the appellation of Condrieu, but Château Pesquié creates a stunning, rich and aromatic Viognier grown in Southern Rhône’s Ventoux Mountains. Balanced with a beautiful acidity, this wine pairs fantastically with seafood or fish. Aromas of apricot, pear and white flowers follow through on the palate. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Viognier, Rhône, FR 2017 58. RED The Grenache grape hails from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha, but arrived in France in the Middle Ages. Grenache flourishes in the warm climate found in Southern Rhône, where Château Pesquié over-delivers on a medium to full-bodied red wine with light tannins and notes of black pepper, black cherry and blackberry. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Grenache, Rhône, FR 2016 58. *limited quantity available BY THE GLASS BUBBLES 6oz 750ml Tawse ‘Spark’ Sparkling Riesling, Niagara, ON 2014 15. 65.

Piesporter Michelsberg Qba Mosel, Germany
KARL JOSEF Piesporter Michelsberg QbA Mosel, Germany GRAPE VARIETIES 70% Müller-Thurgau, 30% Riesling VINIFICATION The picturesque Mosel river valley is one of the world’s great wine treasures. Many Mosel wines flirt with perfection, but the region’s true virtue is that nearly all its vineyards will produce distinctive, delicious Riesling if tended with care. The climate here is cold for wine grapes, but the Mosel has a few tricks that turn this liability into an asset: steep slopes, slate stone soils, and the river itself. Together these factors maximize the long, sunny growing season and provide just enough heat to slowly ripen grapes and develop Mosel Riesling’s unique character with stunning clarity. Moselland growers are scattered throughout the valley, and this provides the flexibility to produce compelling wines with consistency and quality in every vintage. Grapes are harvested separately, according to vineyard site, and must weight. Lots are vinified individually in small stainless-steel tanks under temperature control using selected yeast. The wine is stored in tank until bottling, so only the freshest wine is shipped to the market. ABOUT THE WINERY Karl Josef is produced by Moselland, a grower’s cooperative famous for producing premium quality wines at competitive prices. What is a grower’s cooperative, exactly? A cooperative is a group of wine grape growers who share their resources to produce, bottle, and market wine. Making wine independently requires investment and time that is practically beyond the means of most farmers. Cooperatives play an essential role by providing growers with access to economy of scale, a vocal role in production, and a fair share of profits. -

François Rousset-Martin
FRANÇOIS ROUSSET-MARTIN Country: France Region: Jura Appellation(s): Côtes du Jura Producer: François Rousset-Martin Founded: 2007 Annual Production: 1,000 cases Farming: Organic Blink and you might miss Nevy-sur-Seille, a tiny village tucked away in the Vallée des Reculées, where François Rousset makes his wine. Albeit discreet, this part of the Jura resembles something of the American West—undiscovered and wild, and rich in natural habitat. The backdrop here is dramatic: Massive limestone and marl cliffs perched atop pedestals of sloping vineyards, and in the foreground, flocks of livestock grazing and snoozing the day away. Traditionally a mixed farming region, the Jura is witnessing a new generation focused exclusively on winemaking, and in the case of Rousset, redefining what we consider typical of the area with his vins ouillés. François first caught the wine-bug growing up in Burgundy where his father was a micro-biologist for the Hospices de Beaune. Childhood trips were spent in the Jura getting to know and falling in love with a parcel of family vines which he would later vinify with his father. After earning an oenology degree and continuing his journey in the southern Rhône and Languedoc regions, he returned to his Jurassian roots and in 2007 officially launched his winery. While his scientific background provides François with a literal understanding of the transformation from grape to wine, he’s most influenced by keen intuition, and winemaking lore passed down from his great grandfather, also a winemaker. François's raison d'être is to better know and understand the incredible terroirs in which he is invested. -
