Review:

With refined aromas of spice, ripe stone fruit and a hint of diesel, this wine offers  everything one could want from a premium Auslese. It is full and creamy with superb acidity and fullness of honey and peach flavor. Made from the 105 year old vines of this Great Growth (Grosses Gewachs), Germany’s highest level quality Riesling.-International Wine Review 92 Points

The Weingut Bastgen Estate

The property was founded in 1850 and is located in the tiny hamlet of Monzel, along the middle Mosel. The current owners are Armin Vogel (husband) and Mona Bastgen (wife) who began working in the winery in 1993. The average total production is 3,300 cases. They export mainly to Germany, Switzerland, U.K and the U.S. Their wines are bottled in screwcaps.

The Weingut Bastgen Vineyard

They meticulously tend 4.5 ha (11.11 acres) of which 80% is Riesling. The soil is made of slate. Their vineyards are located in Kesten and Brauneberg, on a steep terrace, and planted to 50-year old vines. Fortunately for Bastgen, they own part of the famous Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr. The vines produce very small, ripe berries that are very tasty.
