The 2019 Kapellenmosesbuck from Weingut Beck reflects the intricate beauty of a vineyard shaped by ancient forces. Nestled within Baden’s volcanic terrain, the small parcels of Kapellenmosesbuck stretch from the barren hilltop to the fertile base of the slope, catching the sun’s path from sunrise to sunset. At first glance, the vineyard feels serene and still, but beneath the surface lies remarkable complexity—layers of energy and depth that slowly reveal themselves, much like the wine that springs from its soil.

The foundation of Kapellenmosesbuck is as varied as the landscape it inhabits. Tephrite, tuff, and fragments of magmatic rock in shifting colors create a mosaic of soil, with pieces that range from compact stone to porous bubbles. White lime veins cross through the earth like rivers frozen in stone, providing a mineral backbone that whispers through the wine. The vineyard’s unusual orientation and varied altitude give rise to a wine that is both vibrant and profound—a living expression of its volcanic origins.

In the glass, the 2019 Kapellenmosesbuck opens with aromas that evoke ripe orchard fruits—pear, apple, and white peach—enlivened by hints of citrus blossom and herbal undertones. On the palate, it is graceful and balanced, with vibrant acidity and a mineral core that carries through to the finish, leaving a delicate trace of wet stone. This is a wine that rewards attention, unfolding slowly like layers of sediment exposed by time. A pure reflection of place, Kapellenmosesbuck offers both immediate pleasure and the promise of evolution, inviting you to explore its depths sip by sip.
