Christoph Eifel

Trittenheim • Germany

christoph-eifel.jpgPhoto: Christoph Eifel

Christoph Eifel's ancestors were already growing grapes in 1635. Today, the winery owns seven hectares of vineyards in the best locations around Trittenheim: the Trittenheim Apotheke, the Trittenheim Altärchen, the Piesport Goldtröpfchen, the Dhron Hofberg and – not to be forgotten – the Neumagen Rosengärtchen.

In the cellar, Christoph Eifel switched to spontaneous fermentation several years ago. The wines are matured partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels.

Christoph Eifel sees himself as a child of the Moselle and the wine culture of his homeland. That is why he consistently relies on Riesling, in all its facets and flavours. He received his education from Nik Weis in Leiwen and Fritz Haag in Brauneberg, before he studied viticulture in Geisenheim.

In addition to the winery, the family also runs a guest house named Moselkloster.

The rating of the wine reflects the mean value from a tasting by our jury.
The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting.
The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued.
The wine exhibited a sensory abnormality during our tasting. This does not necessarily have to be a qualitative defect or a wine fault. In the case of a qualitative impairment, a devaluation or rejection was made depending on the type and severity of the defect or wine fault.

Light lemon yellow colour. Initially a delicate smoky aroma of peach, peach stone and stone fruit, but with just a little air it becomes increasingly tropical with flavours of passion fruit. On the palate with a subtle salty minerality, not uncompromisingly dry and with a commitment to juicy fruit. Slightly tart, again characterised by minerality. Animating style, very good length and persistence. Still youthful, with good potential.

Declared as an estate wine, but in fact a single-vineyard wine from old vines in the Neumagen Rosengärtchen. Pale yellow in colour. The still youthful, somewhat floral nose reveals aromas of citrus and yellow apple as well as red-fruity nuances of wild strawberry and cranberry and subtle hints of woodruff and roasted almond. Above all, however, there is a distinctive slate minerality that also defines the structure. An impressive complexity in the mouth literally causes the initially compressed layers to unfold. Elegant acidity adds tension. Energetic, vibrant and not uncompromisingly dry Riesling with outstanding length.

Light lemon yellow colour. Delicately fruity aroma of peach and yellow apple with a floral note. Subtle on the palate with a fine sweetness and polished acidity. Juicy and animating. Excellent balance and inner calm. Very good length.

Lemon yellow. Youthful, delicately yeasty aroma of passion fruit with hints of tangerine. After a fruity start, shows more and more structure as it lingers in the mouth. Piquant acidity. Has a pull. Full-bodied and juicy. Very long and persistent. Extraordinarily independent Kabinett with expressive tropical aromas.

Light lemon yellow in colour. Subtle artefacts of spontaneous fermentation on the nose. Aroma of ripe peach. On the palate with an impressive, yet by no means exuberant fullness of fruit that clearly reflects its origin. This is how we know the Piesport Goldtröpfchen. Juicy, underpinned with a fine acidity and superbly balanced. It is not even primarily the minerality, which is definitely present in the background, that has a structuring effect here. It is the interplay of all the flavour components that creates tension. Solid acid foundation, adequate sweetness, outstanding length.

Light lemon yellow. Smells of green apple and pear. Compared to its fruitier counterpart from the Piesport Goldtröfpchen, the texture is in the foreground here. The Kabinett from the Trittenheim Apotheke tends to be lighter in terms of alcohol and has a slightly more pronounced sweetness against a background of vital acidity, making it somewhat more powerful on the palate overall. The wine impresses with its extraordinary balance and inner calm, which should remain in this form as it matures. In the finish, which is slightly tart, a great mineral tension builds up, which is quietly released over the long finish.
