C.A. Haussmann

The C.A. Haussmann winery is one of the most traditional wineries on the Middle Moselle, with its origins dating back to 1559. Almost a decade ago, Stefan Stassen, who had already completed his apprenticeship as a winemaker at the winery and comes from a winegrowing family from the Middle Rhine, took over the winery and has since continued the Haussmann family's philosophy of striving for quality. In addition to the dry Rieslings, this time we also really liked the very gluggable Spätlese.

It does not happen very often that a former apprentice takes over a wine estate. Stefan Stassen bought the C.A. Haussmann estate in 2014, which can trace its history back to 1559. He had completed his Winzer apprenticeship there in 1982. His five hectares of vines are in and around Traben-Trarbach, in sites like Taubenhaus, Königsberg, Kräuterhaus and Würzgarten as well as in the Ürziger Würzgarten. The dry Auslese “Schieferjuwel” left a particular impression with its mineral savouriness, while the nobly sweet “Schieferjuwel” came with generous expression. A great debut!
