Von Hövel Monopollage Riesling Hütte Oberemmel Gg Branco

Description

This Von Hövel Monopollage Riesling from the Saar is like stepping back in time – a truly remarkable wine. Dating back to 1803, the cellar, now run by the Kunow family, captures the distinctive mineral character of those Saar slopes, with intriguing hints of smoke that nod to the region’s traditions. Made from Riesling planted on exceptionally soulful terroir, this wine expresses itself with an almost naive purity, reminiscent of the family’s earliest vineyards, yet it’s imbued with an elegance and complexity that sets it apart. It’s particularly wonderful with rich patés of foie gras – the wine’s intensity cuts through the fat beautifully.
