Elbling with 30mg/l of sulphite. Landwein from the Upper Mosel. Slight maceration on the skins. Added a handful of Roter Elbling. Grip, tension and length.

Blend of 1/3 Elbling, 1/3 Pinot Gris and 1/3 Chardonnay. Landwein der Mosel. Color of Onion skin (see photo). Sulfur 25 mg/l. Soft start and well-rounded flavor. But beware! Piquant refined acidity in the aftertaste. Beautiful 3-unity. Bravo Jonas Dostert

Grosses Gewächs (GG) = German Grand Cru. Plenty of finesse. This is the elegant - feminine - version of the GG. Soft tannins, layers of taste and great length. 22 months of aging in barrique.

Pinot noir of fruit from over 45-year-old vines. Very delicate acidity, well-balanced use of oak. Plenty of structure, elegance and silky smoothness. Great wine from Neus. Ranks almost up against the level of GGs.

Powerful chardonnay with aromas of nuts, slight caramel and yeast/flowers. Beautiful salty, mineral-like taste in in which the usage of oak is purely supportive. Wine to keep, but already very tasty decanted! Small stock. Small allocation.

Delicate styled chardonnay. 'Stony' or 'mineral'. Very good acidity and considerable length. Apple and flint. A challenger of mid-range Burgundy!

Villa Neus Rouge. Very unusual - very well done - blend of 1/3 Spätburgunder, 1/3 Merlot and 1/3 Cabernet Sauvignon. Smells of fruit and a bit of farmyard or leather.

Salmon rosy color. Rounded palate feel, but not too sugary. Good acidity from the pinot noir. Full-textured rosé from organic grapes. Approachable but interesting. Well done Weingut J. Neus!

The VILLA NEUS Blanc VDP.Gutswein combines aromas of local and exotic fruit and has a juicy flavour. This is accompanied by soft bitters, a nice touch of reduction and a bit of tension. Excellent organic ‘entry-level’ white from J. Neus.

Grauburgunder with two weeks of skin maceration. made by none other than the mysterious Yung Botrytis. Ultimate light orange juice, perfect for in the sunshine!
