Description
Fifteen of the forty acres and the biggest of the parcels that make up the Sybille Kuntz Estate are situated in the Niederberg-Helden Einzellage – a site that was already highly rated in the 1804 official classification made upon the initiative of Napoleon, the Mosel then being under French rule. The oldest vines here were planted in the 1920’s on the best and steepest slopes; many of them are pre-phylloxera vines that play a formative role in creating the compact, mineral spine of Sybille Kuntz’s Riesling wines. In addition, Sybille Kuntz’s Riesling today is also grown in the adjacent single vineyard sites of Bernkastel-Kues Kardinalsberg, Bernkastel-Kues Weisenstein, Lieser Rosenlay and Lieser Schlossberg.
Sybille Kuntz has been practicing organic viticulture as early as 1990, however, starting with the 2011 vintage it was decided to go through the official certification process to become a classified organic »Bio-Weingut« which we achieved in 2013.
Tasting Notes
Mineral dry fresh white wine with graceful character. Brilliant greenish-yellow colour with golden shine and sparkling wide tears. Nose of overripe fruit with flint and exotic notes of citrus and ginger. White pepper and fresh spring herbs. Fresh acidic start full of character immediately followed by a broad mouth-filling texture, in which finesse reigns over strength. Luscious rich and equally still modest long aftertaste.
