Description from the seller
Mosel’s Finest: A Triumph of St. Urbans-Hof Leiwener Laurentiuslay Riesling Spätlese 2007 – Rare VDP Auction Release (Auctioned 2008)
No Reserve Price!
This is an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs: a bottle of the legendary St. Urbans-Hof Leiwener Laurentiuslay Riesling Spätlese 2007, bearing the coveted VDP Grosser Ring auction label. These wines were never part of the standard commercial release—they were reserved for the prestigious annual VDP auction, a hallmark of excellence in German winemaking.
Estate and Heritage
Founded in 1947, St. Urbans-Hof is one of the Mosel’s most respected estates, known for its uncompromising dedication to Riesling. The estate is a proud member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany’s elite association of top wine producers, enforcing strict quality standards and vineyard classifications. Under the guidance of Nik Weis, St. Urbans-Hof has earned global acclaim for expressing the purity and elegance of the Mosel terroir.
The Vineyard: Leiwener Laurentiuslay
This VDP-classified site is among the Mosel’s finest. Its steep, slate-rich slopes facing south and southwest create ideal conditions for Riesling. The slate acts as a heat reservoir, imparting distinctive minerality and spice. The 2007 vintage is widely celebrated, producing wines with ripe fruit, vibrant acidity, and outstanding aging potential.
Critic Scores and Acclaim
Scored 92 points by CellarTracker critics, reflecting its depth and finesse. Featured in Wine Spectator (Dec 2008) with tasting notes describing it as opulent and exotic, featuring brown spice, slate, smoke and layered fruit complexity.
Drinking Window and Aging Potential
Designed for longevity, this Spätlese offers excellent aging potential. Expect vibrant evolution from 2025 through 2040+, as the wine gracefully shifts from youthful slate and stone fruits to richer honeyed, smoky nuances. The region’s long ripening season ensures balanced acidity and complex structure.
VDP Auction Exclusivity
The golden Grosser Ring sticker commemorates the 100th anniversary of the VDP Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (1908–2008). Auction wines represent the estate’s finest barrels, selected for rarity and superior quality. They seldom reach traditional retail. Past auction data shows single bottles commanding over 120 USD, underscoring their value.
Provenance and Storage
Purchased directly at the 2008 VDP auction, this bottle features impeccable provenance. Since acquisition, it has been stored under optimal conditions at the OHMS – Connoisseurs Choice professional storage facility, preserving its integrity and vitality.
This is more than a wine—it’s a piece of Mosel’s winemaking heritage. With esteemed critic acclaim, exceptional structure, long aging potential, and rare provenance, it is a standout addition to any serious cellar.
