Every year, we find ourselves in the same situation. We taste Weiser-Künstler's latest and say that this is the best vintage yet.

That's definitely the case with Weiser-Künstler's 2015s. This is an estate that we love and still, we were blow away.

Weiser-Künstler was founded in 2005 and almost overnight was catapulted into the Mosel's top ranks. Their 2015s firmly plant them as one of Germany's top producers.

Every year, their Ellergrub Kabinett is one of our favorites. The 2015 Kabinett struts what makes their 2015s so special. It possesses brilliant purity, riveting cut and serious intensity. We love how the Kabinett comes across as packed with complexity and at the same time completely weightless.

Ellergrub is Weiser-Künstler's top site. The site may not have the same name recognition as Wehlener Sonnenuhr or Bernkasteler Doctor, but many German fanatics place Ellergrub among the best in the Middle Mosel. Weiser-Künstler's steeply terraced parcel in Ellergrub is home to hundred year old ungrafted vines.

With only 3ha and an ever growing fan club, Weiser-Künstler is never available in quantity. Many of you can guess how ugly things are in the 2015 vintage. This is not to be missed and not to be slept on.

2015 Weiser-Künstler Ellergrub Kabinett

Mosel Fine Wines: "An intense yet very subtle and multi-layered nose of grapefruit, pineapple, flowers and mint leads to a delicate and precise wine on the palate. The fruit is completely driven by minerals and the fruity only comes through in the long and smoky finish at this stage. A firm acidity makes for an almost off-dry (rather than fruity) feel in the long finish of this stylish Kabinett."
