This is your chance to secure a legendary vintage from one of Germany’s most respected estates. Offered with absolutely no reserve price – a rare occasion for collectors worldwide. About the Estate Grans-Fassian is a historic, family-owned winery with roots in the Mosel dating back to 1624. For centuries, the family has cultivated Riesling on the region’s steep slate slopes. In 1982, Gerhard Grans took over the estate and transformed it into one of the Mosel’s leading producers. His vision focused on expanding holdings in the most prestigious vineyards and elevating quality to the highest level. A milestone came in 2001 when Grans-Fassian was admitted to the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter). VDP membership is reserved for Germany’s elite wineries and signifies uncompromising standards in vineyard selection, sustainable viticulture, and strict quality controls. This badge of excellence places Grans-Fassian among the top tier of German wine producers. Today, the estate is led by Catherina Grans, the 13th generation of the family, continuing a tradition of meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to Riesling. The Vineyard Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, meaning “little drops of gold,” is one of the Mosel’s most iconic sites. Its amphitheater-shaped, south-facing slopes and Devonian slate soils create a unique microclimate for perfect ripening. Wines from this vineyard are celebrated for their aromatic complexity, mineral depth, and exceptional aging potential. The Vintage 1997 is regarded as one of the finest Mosel vintages of the decade. A warm growing season followed by a long Indian Summer allowed for late harvest grapes with outstanding concentration and balance. These wines combine ripe fruit intensity with vibrant acidity, ensuring longevity and elegance. Tasting Impressions Expect classic Mosel character: honeyed notes, ripe tropical fruit, slate-driven minerality, and a freshness that promises decades of evolution.
