This is a truly exceptional offering: a magnificent lot of three bottles of Grans-Fassian 1997 Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel.
This rare designation marks a wine of superior ripeness and concentration, and all bottles are presented in pristine condition.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb vintage from a top Mosel producer. All bottles come directly from the Grans-Fassian estate and have been stored ever since in the OHMS Connoisseurs Choice professional wine cellar, which maintains ideal temperature and humidity conditions. This lot is offered with no reserve price, making it a thrilling opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
Grans-Fassian: A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 1624, Grans-Fassian is one of the Mosel’s most respected family-run wineries. Under Gerhard Grans, who took over in 1982, the estate expanded its holdings in the region’s most prestigious vineyards and focused on producing world-class Rieslings. In 2001, the estate was accepted into the VDP, Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter, Germany’s elite association of top-quality wine estates. VDP membership is a hallmark of excellence, signifying strict standards in vineyard classification, yield control, and terroir expression.
Today, the winery is led by Catherina Grans, the 13th generation, continuing the family’s commitment to precision viticulture and uncompromising quality.
Trittenheimer Apotheke: The Jewel of the Mosel is one of the Mosel’s most iconic sites. Its steep, south-facing slopes and Devonian slate soils create a unique microclimate that allows Riesling grapes to ripen slowly and develop exceptional aromatic complexity. Wines from this vineyard are known for their elegance, minerality, and longevity. The Auslese level from Apotheke is particularly prized for its richness, balance, and aging potential.
Goldkapsel: A Mark of Distinction
The Goldkapsel, or gold capsule, is a traditional Mosel designation used to indicate wines of superior quality and concentration. It often signifies a selection of the best grapes from a vintage, with higher ripeness and intensity than standard Auslese. This 1997 Auslese Goldkapsel is a perfect example of the estate’s top-tier production – a wine of depth, purity, and finesse.
The Vintage: 1997 – A Benchmark Year
The 1997 vintage in the Mosel is considered one of the finest of the decade. A warm growing season followed by a long, dry autumn allowed for ideal late harvest conditions. Grapes achieved full ripeness with vibrant acidity, resulting in wines of great concentration and balance. This vintage is often compared to legendary years such as 1976 and 1990, known for their richness and longevity. The 1997 Auslese wines continue to evolve beautifully, offering a harmonious blend of fruit, minerality, and freshness.
Drinking Window and Evolution
This wine is entering its prime drinking window, with optimal enjoyment expected between 2025 and 2045. It will continue to develop tertiary notes of honey, dried apricot, and spice while retaining its signature Mosel acidity.
Provenance and Condition
These bottles were purchased directly from the Grans-Fassian winery in April 2007. As the official representative for the winery in the Czech market since 2003, OHMS Connoisseurs Choice guarantees their authenticity. Stored in our professional wine cellar under ideal conditions, the bottles are in perfect condition with clear labels, intact capsules, and original winery wrapping.
