Philip Lardot “Kontakt” White - Mosel, Germany
Producer's Notes:
Crisp and mineral with an undertone of green herbs such as chives. The Auxerrois adds a more fruity character. Unfiltered.
What we say:
A vibrant, textural white made with extended skin contact, Kontakt White is Philip Lardot’s playful, naturally expressive take on Mosel Riesling. Crafted with minimal intervention and a focus on purity, texture, and energy, it sits beautifully between a structured white and an amber wine - bright, aromatic, and quietly wild in all the right ways.
The nose is lifted and distinctive, showing aromas of citrus peel, green apple, pear skin, chamomile, and a touch of spice, all wrapped in Lardot’s signature slate-driven minerality. On the palate, Kontakt is lively and textured: medium-bodied with gentle tannic grip, crisp acidity, and flavours that weave together citrus, orchard fruit, herbs, and wet stone. The finish is long, dry, and mouthwatering.
