Another village level off-dry, this is sourced from various parcels on the “Grand Cru” Kupp – as such this is more the equivalent of “Senior,” in a Feinherb style. In other words, it is a “Grand Cru,” declassified and sold at village-level pricing. Most of the sites are east facing on the summit of the Kupp which gets the first rays of morning sun. This tends to be a bit deeper and broader-shouldered than the No. 4; it has more mineral complexity and more depth. The analytics are similar to the No. 4, so expect lightning bolts and some dizziness.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The N°3 Ayl, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to the vintage is left for the back label), is an off-dry wine (with 16 g/l of residual sugar) made from younger vines in the front, east-facing part of the original Kupp hill, in the upper section near Stirn. The first nose is still marked by residues from its spontaneous fermentation, but it quickly reveals a nicely fresh and zesty nose of greengage, candied lemon, lime, spearmint, smoke, and spices. The wine starts off the focused and zesty side, with tension and extract. The finish proves light and slightly smoother, with elegant floral notes. It already tastes more dryish than fully off dry and gives pure pleasure in its lightness. | No 76 July 2025 |
