There exist enchanting locales where nature and talent uniquely converge, crafting true marvels. Ansgar Clüsserath, situated in Trittenheim, in the southern part of the Middle Mosel, is one such place. The Clüsserath family has been cultivating this land since 1670, but it was with the advent of Eva Clüsserath that the winery underwent a remarkable transformation, garnering international acclaim for its exceptional Riesling wines. With profound dedication and an unwavering passion for the terroir, Eva has successfully crafted Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese wines that not only exhibit varietal character but also the purity of the surrounding vineyards.
A clear example of this expertise is the Ansgar Clüsserath Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett. This wine hails from the finest plots of Trittenheimer Apotheke, a vineyard renowned for its slate and rocky soil, coupled with a perfect microclimate for cultivating Riesling. Adhering to ecological principles, the grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours to preserve the fruit's freshness. Following a delicate pressing, the must ferments at controlled temperatures, retaining the purest and most characteristic aromas of the grape. Finally, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks, bestowing it with a subtle fruitiness and vibrant minerality, reflecting the grape's purest essence.
Ansgar Clüsserath Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett is a genuine masterpiece that exemplifies the expertise of a winemaker committed to terroir, sustainability, and quality. It is no surprise that Eva is renowned as the queen of the Mosel.
