A "Monopole" Masterpiece from the Legendary 2019 Vintage
2019 Estate Reverchon Riesling Spatlese Mosel
It is often said that while the Mosel is the "body" of German Riesling, the Saar is its "nerve." And no wine demonstrates that nervous, electric energy better than this 2019 Spätlese from Weingut Reverchon. For decades, Reverchon was the "sleeping giant" of the region—an estate with incredible historic vineyards that was underperforming. That has all changed.

In Detail
Sourced from the steep slate walls of the Filzener Herrenberg, this 2019 Spätlese is a vibrating, electric example of why the Saar is the most exciting region in Germany right now.
It is often said that while the Mosel is the "body" of German Riesling, the Saar is its "nerve." And no wine demonstrates that nervous, electric energy better than this 2019 Spätlese from Weingut Reverchon.
For decades, Reverchon was the "sleeping giant" of the region—an estate with incredible historic vineyards that was underperforming. That has all changed. With new investment and a renewed focus on quality, they are now producing wines that rival the giants of the valley (like Van Volxem and Von Othegraven).
This wine comes from their crown jewel: the Filzener Herrenberg. Reverchon owns almost the entire vineyard, making it a de facto Monopole. It is a steep, south-facing wall of Devonian slate that catches the wind and the sun in equal measure. In the 2019 vintage—a year famous for combining high ripeness with razor-sharp acidity—this terroir produced a wine of startling contradiction. It is luscious and sweet on the attack, yet bone-dry and salty on the finish. It creates a tension on the palate that is addictive.
