Description
Purus Hubertus, from the Purus line, without additives, unfiltered. Named after the young Frankish nobleman (655 to 727), who, after a short period in Paris, began to study the vineyards around the Mosel in Metz. Defeated by the early death of his wife, he moved into the surrounding forests as a hermit. There, after meeting a reindeer with enormous antlers and being visited by the Holy Spirit, he converted to Christianity. Hubertus then became the most important founder of various monasteries in Flanders and Wallonia and the first bishop of Liège. The monasteries were known for their exuberant wine consumption. Religious ceremonies, as medicine for the weak and sick, for in the kitchen and with every meal, simply for pleasure or for a boost on difficult days, you name it. A true elixir of life. It is therefore no wonder that these monasteries always settled near good wine villages.
And so, Purus Hubertus, a wine of higher spheres.
100% Riesling from 40-year-old vines. In the heart of the Hubertuslay orchard, the vines are close together, allowing the roots of the vines to dig deep into the earth and absorb water from great depths.
A wine with a spicy freshness. Lively and with a nice thickness and a very fine mouthfeel. In the nose, mirabelle, lemon and grapefruit. With a little extra oxygen, this tasting palette only expands further with dried plums and associations of cinnamon and cloves. Beautifully balanced and all relaxation. The higher word is out.
