Staffelter Hof Little Bastard

In the heart of the Mosel region in Germany, where vineyards stretch along the steep slopes of the river, lies a wine that defies convention and challenges the status quo—Staffelter Hof Little Bastard Wine. Full of distinctive flavours, and rebellious spirit of this captivating German gem.

Staffelter Hof is one of the oldest wineries in existence, going all the way back to 862. Nowadays, in the hands of Jan Matthias Klein, the production is divided between the old-school Mosel classics from the village of Krov, and the new-school, natural wines Jan loves to make, with these soon to be iconic labels.

Little Bastard is a blend of Riesling from their estate vines, Sauvignon Blanc from down the road, with a bit of floral muscat and herbal Muller Thurgau. Its a bit cloudy, being bottled unfiltered and unfined, and from the Muscat spending a few days fermenting on its skins, but that just serves to emphasise the peachy flavour and texture of this absolutely awesome wine.

In terms of texture, Staffelter Hof Little Bastard Wine leaves a lasting impact. It glides smoothly across the palate, showcasing a luscious and velvety mouthfeel. The wine's off-dry nature creates a pleasing richness, accentuating the fruit flavours
