The Winemaker's Legacy: A History of Excellence
The Grans-Fassian estate is a historic, family-owned winery with roots in the Mosel region stretching back to 1624. The current legacy began in 1982 when Gerhard Grans took over the winery from his father. With an unwavering vision, he focused on expanding the family's holdings in the Mosel's most prestigious vineyards, concentrating on crafting top-quality Rieslings.
His efforts were rewarded with membership in the prestigious VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) in 2001, a mark of the highest German winemaking quality.
Today, the winery is run by his daughter, Catherina Grans, representing the 13th generation to continue this remarkable winemaking tradition. The family's commitment to meticulous viticulture and uncompromising quality is a testament to their enduring passion.
The Famous Vineyard: Piesporter Goldtröpfchen
The "Goldtröpfchen," or "little drops of gold," is one of the Mosel's most famous and sought-after vineyards. Located in the village of Piesport, this south-facing, amphitheater-like slope features deep, Devonian slate soils and a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and concentration. Wines from this site are renowned for their intricate aromas, powerful structure, and incredible aging potential. The Spätlese from this vineyard is particularly prized for its balance of intense sweetness and crisp acidity, a true classic expression of the Mosel.
The Vintage: 1997 - A Grand Vintage of Concentration
The 1997 vintage in the Mosel is widely celebrated as one of the best of the decade. Following an idyllic and warm growing season, a long "Indian Summer" provided perfect conditions for late-harvest grapes. This allowed for full phenolic ripeness and the development of intense fruit concentration, all while retaining the region's signature vibrant acidity.
Wines from this vintage are known for their power, complexity, and exceptional longevity, making them perfect candidates for long-term cellaring.
