Philip Lardot, Schiefer Riesling, 2022

Mosel Valley, Germany

Landwein der Mosel

100% Riesling // 11.5% abv

Phillip moved to the Mosel to work with Clemens Busch and loved it so much he stayed. Schiefer, or ‘Slate’, is a blend of several parcels of Riesling, from fruit that is farmed by Philip and Rosa’s close friend, Michael, the only grower they purchase fruit from, along with selections from our own vineyards.

The vines are 30-40 years old and all sites are pure grey and blue slate. The 2022 vintage is an expression blended from the villages of Piesport and Sankt Aldegund.

Cold macerated for a few hours before pressing, fermentation in barrel on full lees, 14 months of ageing in tonneau.
