AJ Adam Dhroner Riesling Trocken, Mosel 2020

Andreas Adam's winery is in the Drohn Valley, a tributary of the Mosel, and not too far from the border with Luxembourg. The steep, southwest facing slopes on which many of their vineyards lie have long been recognized as premium locations. However many of them, including Andreas', fell into disuse in the 60s and 70s with the movement of many people to employment in the cities rather than the hard to work vineyards of the area. Andreas' grandfather owned a small parcel of vines from where, at the age of 21 in the year 2000, Andreas produced his first vintage. In the subsequent years he acquired further vineyards and now has a total of 5 hectares across the the Drohn and Piesporter areas. Andreas now runs the estate along with his sister Barbara and between them they produce some excellent Mosel wines, the only downside being that, because of their small size, they only seen in limited quantities.
