Hiljta 2019 - Katla

Producer: Katla - Jas Swan

Cuvee: Hiltja

Grape: Riesling, Cabernet Blanc (Hybrid)

Area: Mosel, Germany

A few words on the wine:

Golden juice. Lush palet, bursting with richness. But ever so balanced with the acidity from Riesling. This palet just calls out for butter & seafood. The lush fruit has that perfect sweetness to go with the Fruit de Mer.

A few words on the Wine Maker:

Solfinn first met Jas in Iceland @ Restaurant Dill. She was working there & Solfinn was doing one of his Flying Somm Pop Ups. A lot of memories where created that weekend & some lost due to a mutual fondness for Negroni. So when we heard about Jas project to make wine in Mosel, we decided to support it from the beginning. 2019 being the first vintage & all grapes are bought from good friends from different areas in Germany & close enough to it. Mostly classic varieties, but also lesser known varieties. Cause Jas doesn’t have a traditional approach to making wines. Something you can taste in the wines. These wines are equally inspired by Jura & Loire as they are rooted in Mosel. First vintage is one a very high level & the future looks very good for this new Nomad Donamine.
