Producer – Weingut Grans-Fassian
Weingut Grans-Fassian is a historic family estate founded in 1624 and widely regarded as a classical reference producer of the Middle Mosel. The estate joined the VDP in 2001, marking its inclusion among Germany’s most elite association of terroir driven wine estates.

VDP membership reflects strict quality criteria, including low yields, manual harvesting and a commitment to long lived wines that express origin over power. Grans-Fassian is particularly respected for its traditional Riesling style, emphasising balance, clarity and structural precision rather than overt richness.

VDP Classification – Origin as the Core Quality Criterion
The VDP classification system is entirely origin based and represents the highest level of quality assurance in German wine. Its philosophy is comparable to that of Burgundy, placing vineyard pedigree at the centre of classification.

VDP Gutswein – estate wines
VDP Ortswein – village wines
VDP Erste Lage – premier cru equivalent
VDP Grosse Lage – grand cru equivalent

Trittenheim is one of the historic core villages of the Middle Mosel and is home to several Erste Lage and Grosse Lage sites. Although this wine is labelled with village origin Trittenheim, the fruit is sourced from steep, high quality slopes forming the backbone of the estate’s classified holdings. As such, it reflects the upper tier of Mosel village wines and remains highly relevant for collectors focused on provenance and terroir integrity.

Vineyard Origin – Trittenheim
Trittenheim lies on steep, south facing slopes above a dramatic bend of the Mosel River. The vineyards are dominated by blue and grey Devonian slate, which stores heat efficiently and promotes slow, even ripening. Excellent drainage, constant airflow and the moderating influence of the river preserve high natural acidity while allowing full aromatic maturity.

Rieslings from Trittenheim are admired for their precision, slate driven minerality, crystalline fruit expression and long ageing capacity, particularly at Spätlese level, where freshness and balance are paramount.

Spätlese Style – Elegance, Precision and Longevity
Spätlese represents ripe, selectively harvested grapes picked later than Kabinett, offering greater depth and aromatic intensity while retaining freshness and finesse. At Grans-Fassian, Spätlese wines are produced with restrained extraction, gentle pressing and slow fermentations to achieve harmony rather than weight.

Spätlese occupies a central position in classic Mosel collecting. It offers exceptional versatility, strong terroir transparency and proven longevity, often ageing as gracefully as higher Prädikat levels while remaining more refined and precise. For many connoisseurs, Spätlese from top estates and great vintages represents the most authentic expression of Mosel Riesling.

The 2007 Mosel Vintage – Benchmark Balance and Proven Ageing
The 2007 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest Mosel years of the modern era. A long, cool growing season preserved high natural acidity, while favourable late season weather allowed for full flavour development and selective harvesting under stable conditions.

Spätlese wines from 2007 are prized for their exceptional balance between ripeness and freshness. Rather than power driven, the wines show clarity, integration and structural harmony, attributes that have proven ideal for slow, graceful ageing. Nearly two decades after harvest, well stored 2007 Spätlesen are entering a particularly attractive phase of maturity while retaining significant further potential.

Wine Critic Perspective
Spätlese wines from Trittenheim and from Grans-Fassian in 2007 were widely praised for their precision, classical balance and ageing capability. Critics consistently noted ripe yet restrained fruit, vibrant acidity and clear slate expression. The 2007 vintage continues to be cited as one of the most reliable and cellar worthy modern Mosel years, especially for Spätlese from leading VDP estates.

Current Tasting Profile
Bright golden colour with excellent clarity. Aromas of ripe peach, yellow apple, apricot, citrus zest and delicate herbal nuances, supported by wet slate minerality. The palate is harmonious and finely detailed, with moderate sweetness, fresh acidity and a clean, mineral driven finish. Elegant and composed rather than opulent.

Drinking Window
Drinking beautifully now. Estimated optimal drinking window from 2023 through 2038 and beyond. With continued professional storage, further positive evolution over the next decade and longer is highly likely.
