The village-level dry Trarbacher is a serious wine, another “Kabinett Trocken”-style wine with a salty, bracing structure. Often this is one of their most incisive dry Rieslings and it can age remarkably well. Most often they are sourcing this wine from the Schlossberg and Tabenhaus.
The 2024er is incredibly light and direct, nearly like drinking rainwater that has run over Mosel slate. Salt, smoke, green herbs and some lemon zest. Just 10% alcohol with 7.2g of acidity and 6.5g of RS. It feels like the sharper, saline edge of a Muscadet and would also shine as a wine with oysters. Unfortunately, frost affected the side valley vineyards like Schlossberg tremendously and this wine is very limited.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Trarbacher Riesling Trocken is a bone-dry wine (less than 1 g/l of residual sugar) which comes from fruit harvested mainly in the Schlossberg, and a small part of the Taubenhaus. The first nose proves quite smoky and slightly reductive, and gains from airing as it reveals delicate herbal notes of greengage, mint, smoke, tar, fine spices, almond, and lime. The wine proves delicately juicy and herbal on the palate and leaves a straight and very spicy feel in the racy finish. The aftertaste reveals a touch of creamy elements and tartness in need of integration. This racy, energetic, and salty bone-dry tasting Riesling needs a few years to fully develop its complexity. | No 71 June 2024 |
