AJ Adam, Riesling Trocken, 2023

A.J. Adam has earned a reputation for producing some of the Mosel’s most exciting and terroir-transparent wines, balancing power with precision. His Riesling Trocken, sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards in the Dhron Valley, is a beautifully focused expression of dry Mosel Riesling. The 2023 vintage, marked by vibrant acidity and crystalline purity, highlights the estate’s commitment to site-driven winemaking. Lime zest, green apple, and white peach lead, backed by delicate floral notes and a smoky, wet stone minerality. The palate is lean and energetic, with razor-sharp acidity and a long, saline-tinged finish that lingers with tension and freshness. Perfect as an apéritif or paired with oysters, sushi, or light vegetarian dishes, this is a Riesling that showcases the Mosel’s elegance in its purest form. Built for both immediate enjoyment and graceful aging.
