Koenen, Christoph - Mosel

The Koenen family run their small winery in the rather unknown Moselle village of Minheim, on the opposite bank of the river between Erden and Zeltingen. The trained viticulture technician Christoph Koenen has a knack for elegant Moselle Rieslings, for the dry as well as for the sweet wines. The Burgundy varieties are also convincing, as the Eichelmann Wine Guide 2021 confirms (see below). The Koenen wines are always crystal clear in expression, mineral, fine and characterized by ripe acidity, nothing is sour or scratchy here, thanks to the ripe grapes and the selection in the vineyard and cellar. The hierarchy is structured in ascending order: Gutsweine (estate wines) - Ortsweine (local wines) - Lagenweine (single vineyard wines) and Goldschiefer (gold slate) as the top product. There are excellent wines in every class at a very fair price.
