The calling card wine from hero/vintner/reconteur/gourmand Gernot Kollmann is a crisp, crunchy, keenly balanced, TOTALLY DRY Riesling from multiple sources along the Mosel, including the Saar, Mitelmosel and Gernot’s own vineyards in Enkirch. His only cuvée vinified in steel. Fantastic QPR.

Normally a blend of all four steep slope grand crus from Immich: Batterieberg, Zeppwingert, Ellergrub, and Steffensberg; but this year the Ellergrub fruit from blue slate dominates to scintillating effect. Mostly old and ungrafted vines — at least 60 years old — the vinous heritage of Germany...

(2.5g RS/7.5g acid/12.5% alc) A site made famous by many winemakers in the region, the Niersteiner Pettenthal is a finer soil than Rothenberg, more pebbly with broken rocks and less geological compression. The wines from here tend to be more tensile, more filigreed, lighter on their feet, yet ...
3.8g/l RS, 6.1g acid, 11.5% alc. Grown in the western part of Franconia in terraced vineyards of limestone, including the legendary Würzburger Stein with additional fruit from Kirchberg and Innere Leiste. A zesty herbal nose leads to a rush of marine minerality and pithy, grippy texture. Vinified...
