Little Bastard 2023 | Staffelter Hof

Flavor Profile: A bright yellow hue with a clear haze sets the stage for this wine's aromatic complexity. Expect a bouquet of peach, quince, and citrus fruits, complemented by a spicy, stony note and a yeasty undertone reminiscent of fresh pastries. On the palate, it is creamy, fresh, and nutty - an inviting blend that is both fruity and fresh.

Origin: Mosel, Germany - from the steep vineyards above Kröv on the banks of the Moselle.

Grapes: 60% Riesling, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Müller-Thurgau, 5% Muskateller.

Process: Organic farming, spontaneous fermentation in separate batches, blended for malolactic fermentation in 1900-litre oak barrels, hand-bottled straight from the cask. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfur.

About the Producer: Staffelter Hof is not just a winery - it is a piece of living history, with records going back to AD 862. Jan Matthias Klein represents the latest generation of a family that has farmed this land since 1805, embracing organic certification in 2012 and natural winemaking with conviction and craft. Their wines balance a thousand years of tradition with genuine creative curiosity.

Pairing Suggestions: Wonderful with roast pork, soft washed-rind cheeses, creamy pasta dishes, or anything with a buttery, rich character that benefits from the wine's acidity and subtle nuttiness.
