WINES
Rosa has been travelling the world working stints around the globe from New Zealand to Oregon and California (briefly farming with a cult owned vineyard - please google the fellowship of friends and Georg Gurdjieff for some light hearted entertainment).
Her quest for knowledge and experience led her to the Mosel in 2022 with the intention of staying for a year in this picturesque landscape. However, the valley's magnetic Rieslings have kept her there ever since. Settling in with Philip, they have quickly become the power couple this corner of the Mosel truly need. Together, they work 6 hectares of old, reclaimed, and punishingly steep vineyards - producing some of the most unique single-vineyard Rieslings and Pinots (of all colours) in the region.
We are really excited to bring in her wines to the UK for the first time. She brings a perfumed purity to Spätburgunder that feels excitingly fresh and different.
“I don‘t think there has ever been a more exciting opportunity for anyone who wants to start a winery here. Whether you are looking for old ungrafted vines on terraces or vineyards that can be worked mechanically, it is all here.”
