A.J. Adam represents one of the Middle Mosel's finest rising estates, founded in 2000 when 21-year-old Andreas Adam bottled his first vintage from his grandfather's single hectare in Dhron. Now five hectares, the estate focuses exclusively on Grand Cru vineyards, joined by sister Barbara in 2013. The Hofberg Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru dry) comes from steep, south-facing vineyards in Dhron's small side valley. This 2024 shows the precision and depth that VDP-level Mosel Riesling demands: bright citrus and green apple with the characteristic slate minerality of the site, crisp acidity, and the complexity that emerges from old-vineyard material and minimal intervention winemaking. Harvested entirely by hand with heavy selection, fermented with ambient yeast only in traditional fuders. Young and vibrant, ready to drink now or cellar for 8-12 years.
