The Land:
Ohligsberg is one of the Mosel’s hidden gems, a steep, south-facing Grand Cru vineyard in the village of Wintrich. The site’s weathered blue and gray slate soils retain heat and provide exceptional drainage, creating the perfect conditions for Riesling to develop both power and precision. With its combination of old vines, warm exposure, and cooling river influence, Ohligsberg produces wines of striking minerality, depth, and age-worthy structure.
The Wine:
This dry Riesling is a study in balance—intense yet refined, with layers of citrus, white peach, and crushed slate minerality. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and aging in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak preserve the wine’s purity while adding subtle texture. The high natural acidity and saline finish give it remarkable tension and length, making it both compelling young and built for the cellar.

Germany - Mosel
Riesling is a truly noble grape, known for its incredibly high acidity and a flavor profile that can range from bone dry to lusciously sweet. Germany is its heartland, and it's responsible for some of the world's most age-worthy examples, but Riesling also thrives in Austria, where it usually is dry. In Alsace, it takes on a slightly richer texture, while in parts of Australia, like the Clare and Eden Valleys, it displays a uniquely powerful and lime-tinged aromatic profile. This is a grape that has no problem showcasing its origins, and it's a fantastic example of how one variety can show many different expressions, each with its own unique appeal.
