Local Event Premier Host

Profoundly Dry Immich Batterieberg Rieslings With Winemaker Gernot Kollmann

Mon, April 15, 2024 (5:00 PM - 7:30 PM)

Cost: Free

Free, but please reserve your tasting slot.

Bone. Dry. Mosel Riesling. That’s what Gernot Kollman does and, as Wine Advocate wrote a few years ago, “under the direction of Gernot Kollmann, Immich-Batterieberg has quietly grown to become one of the Mosel's top domaines for dry Riesling.” Come see how as you meet Gernot and taste:

• Wallflower Mosel Riesling Briedeler Herzchen Trocken 2018 - Made at the estate and with estate fruit in collaboration with Virinia's Early Mountain winemaker Ben Jordan!
• Immich Batterieberg Riesling Trocken C.A.I. 2021 - the "entry level" bottling honoring estate founder, Carl August Immich
• Immich Batterieberg Riesling Escheberg 2020 - a blend of select parcels from all of Gernot's crus.
• Immich Batterieberg Riesling Briedeler Herzchen 2020 - From a steep south-east facing location with gray to red slate on the right side of the Pündericher Marienburg.
• Immich Batterieberg Wermut NV - Not even going to try to describe the kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors here!

Gernot will share the story of his estate (including why there’s a cannon on the C.A.I. label), his vines, and how climate change has helped reshape Germany’s most famous Riesling region. As usual there’s no charge for our Producer Spotlight tastings held upstairs around the tasting table, but we do ask that you reserve one of the five 30 minute sessions from 5pm to 7:30pm so we can make sure everyone has plenty of time to enjoy and appreciate the wines. Don’t miss this one!
