Philip Lardot is not a traditional Mosel winemaker—rather, he's a quiet revolutionary. His work is characterized by a deep respect for the steep, often forgotten vineyards of the Middle Mosel. He harvests by hand, thinks in terms of soils and microclimates rather than grape varieties, and gives the wine space rather than control.

In the cellar, he works in a purist manner: spontaneous fermentation, no intervention, long aging on the full lees in used barrels or concrete eggs. No fining agents, no filtration, hardly any sulfur. His wines bear the imprint of the place – quiet, salty, sometimes demanding, but always honest.
