Koehler-Ruprecht

Producer Website
The most non-interventionist winery I've ever visited. They literally spend 95% of their effort on the vineyards. The grapes are harvested, pressed and sent straight to large, oak barrique fermenters in the cellar. They are barely touched after that. No fermentation monitoring, no additions, no worries. Many don't finish fermenting for a year. The result is a clear expression of the vineyard in every bottle and top-tier ageability.

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)
