Estate and Vineyard

Grans-Fassian is a historic family estate in Leiwen, Mosel, with a winemaking tradition dating back to 1624. Since 1982, Gerhard Grans has led the estate with a focus on producing top-quality Rieslings from the region’s most prestigious vineyards. In 2001, the estate was accepted into the VDP, the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates, a hallmark of excellence in German viticulture. Today, the winery is managed by Catherina Grans, the 13th generation of the family, continuing a legacy of precision, purity, and terroir expression.

The Trittenheimer Apotheke vineyard is one of the Mosel’s most iconic sites. Classified as VDP.Grosse Lage, it is the highest designation for German vineyards. This steep hill shaped slope, with its steep inclines and deep Devonian slate soils, benefits from a unique microclimate that allows Riesling grapes to ripen slowly and fully. The result is wines of exceptional aromatic complexity, minerality, and longevity.

Vintage Profile – 2004 and Comparison to surrounding vintages:

2002 was a cooler, more classic year, producing elegant and balanced wines with great aging potential.

2003 was extremely hot and dry, resulting in powerful, ripe wines with lower acidity and shorter longevity.

2004 was a return to classic Mosel style, with high acidity, finesse, and aromatic purity.

2005 is widely regarded as a benchmark vintage, producing structured, concentrated wines with long-term cellaring potential.

2006 stands out for its opulence and charm, offering a more exotic and expressive profile, especially in the Spätlese and Auslese categories.
