Immich-Batterieberg's Brut Nature Sparkling wine from Mosel hillsides is the best combination of Riesling's fruitiness and minerality with 5 years on lees to give the yeasty character of top quality Champagne.
Ulli Stein is one of the most important growers in the Lower Mosel, with ultra-steep vineyards of old, ungrafted, Riesling. This Dry Riesling shows great acidity and classic blue slate soil minerality.
The Palmberg vineyard is Stein's finest, with 90 year old ungrafted vines. This Spatlese Feinherb, from the second pass of harvesting, adds depth and complexity to the wine with some sweetness, orange blossom aroma, and an endless finish.
Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) Riesling from the Stettener Pulvermacher hill's Berge parcel. These are the oldest vines on the top of the hill, worked entirely by hand and horse. The wine is given a 3 week maceration for depth and concentration and shows graceful acidity with mint aromas and lush fruit.
