Each year in september the VDP members gather in Trier to auction their 'best' barrels of wine. We have been attending since 2010 and are delighted to bring a few bottles back to sell in Bordeaux
 
The 2022er Hofberg Kabinett, as it is referred to on the consumer label (the reference to Alte Reben is left for the back label), was made from fruit
picked at 77° Oechsle on over 65-year-old vines in a steep part of the backside of the main Hofberg hill and was fermented down to fruity-styled
levels of residual sugar (50 g/l). It offers a quite reductive and smoky nose yet quickly delivers refined notes of flint stone, white flowers, spices,
herbs, and mint. The wine proves beautifully refreshing and pure on the palate and leaves a great fresh feel in the superbly long finish. This is a
superbly playful and layered Kabinett, which is true to its style. 2030-2042
