Martin Conrad Riesling Brauneberg Juffer Feinherb Goldkapsel 2018
€28.65
Feinherb is an off-dry style made only in the Mosel and used to be a solution for vintages that were too cool to produce Prädikatsweinen. Conrad is a master in this typical Mosel style and his Feinherbs are refreshing and hedonistic. Most importantly they are full of tension and expression. The hint of residual sugar gives a Riesling balance, rather than they weigh down.

Description
Goldkapsel
Goldkapsel is an indication German winemakers use for their special selection and the finest harvest. The concentration of this 2018 Feinherb Goldkapsel is immense. Strong powerful and fully in balance. A unicorn and next-level type of Mosel Riesling.
Brauneberg Juffer
The Brauneberg Juffer is one of the steepest slopes of the Mosel. The 43 degrees inclination makes sure the hillside vineyards receive a lot of sun hours and makes vineyard maintenance very hard. Most of the work has to be done manually, it’s an effortful and arduous process. The vineyard does provide very balanced riesling, ripe but also with a big backbone of acidity. The typical slate minerality provides the world-famous Riesling many wine lovers are seeking after.
Although we already have the beautiful wines from the Mosel of Ansgar Clüsserath we were also looking for that typical Riesling expression from the Mosel in a somewhat more affordable and accessible range. Eva Clüsserath works on a small scale and provides for a clean, mineral style with piercing acidity. She is modest and her wines speak for themselves. Her wines are made without concession.
Martin Conrad
The wines from Martin Conrad are more accessible and open. Ripeness or greenness don’t seem to be an issue for the Conrad wines. Especially his Feinherbs and Kabinetts show the pleasure of cheerful and refreshing directness. Well-made wines that show consistency and clarity. His Riesling is terroir-driven as well as pleasurable.
