The house always starts that harvest a little later than everyone else, sorting every day and picking the ripest grapes from its best sites as late as it possibly can. What keeps all that ripeness in balance is the vineyard. The Scharzhofberg is one of the coolest Riesling sites on the Saar and beyond. Its vines grow in Saar slate that is heavily weathered on the western side of the hill, so roots can penetrate well, and there's more and more quartzite as you head west. In the cellar the approach is deliberately hands-off, following the late Egon Müller III's belief that wine quality comes 100 percent from the vineyard. Jean-Jacques Koch bought the Scharzhof in 1797, after the church was stripped of the land; before that, the vintners of the monastery of St. Marien ad Martyres had worked the slope.

Across the estate, Klaus-Peter Keller's mother, Hedwig, left her mark: she drew on her years working at a nursery to select low-yielding, open-clustered Riesling cuttings from ancient vines in the Saar. Limestone runs through the whole estate, too: Keller made its name on dry Rieslings from limestone-dominated soils, with the kind of power and precision people compare to Burgundy grand cru.

The vineyard is very stony, all primary rock and river pebbles, which is the kind of ground that gives Riesling the mighty minerality we love from this house. Written evidence of winemaking at Nikolaihof goes back to 470 A.D. The Saahs family, owners since 1894, have never used chemicals in their vineyards. Christine Saahs led the move to biodynamics, and the estate is Demeter certified. The 2010 was made after her son Niki took over in 2005.

The Riesling here descends from cuttings his parents brought down from the Saar fifty years ago, vines that give far less fruit but radiant quality, and the family has never looked back. Limestone is the other half of the equation: it's what separates Keller's wines from the rest of Germany, pushing the aromatics floral rather than peachy the way Mosel slate does. 2023 gave Keller a near-perfect hand — must weights down and acidity two to three grams higher than the year before — and he calls the vintage outstanding.

Singerriedel rises steeply right behind the winery in Spitz, a small village squeezed between the mountains and the Danube, and it's one of the best sites in the Wachau. The ground is primary rock: gneiss, mica and schist. The soil is so mineral that the family has spent about twenty years rebuilding the vineyard's stone terraces.

Abtserde is a south-facing slope of limestone and clay just above Keller's Morstein vineyard in Westhofen, and it once belonged to the monks of Fulda Abbey. Like Kirchspiel, Hubacker and Morstein, it was a famous old vineyard that had been all but abandoned until Keller's work turned it into holy ground for Riesling. Keller's dry Rieslings come from limestone-dominated soils, and critics have compared them to the great Grands Crus of Burgundy. We've always found Abtserde less showy than Morstein or Hubacker but often more refined, with quiet power and a long, tightly wound finish. That's exactly the kind of wine you want to meet after time in bottle. This 2008 has had well over fifteen years of it, which is far more patience than most people ever give a young Keller.

The family says the idea behind Unendlich was to get as much terroir and as much varietal character as possible out of a single wine. The name dates back to the first vintage, 1998. Early barrel tastings that year showed a Riesling with what the Pichlers called a \"Mozartean\" personality and a finish that seemed to go on forever. Mozart turns up on the label too: F.X. Pichler is a huge opera fan, and he chose a draft stage set for The Magic Flute by the Prussian architect Karl-Friedrich Schinkel, with a starry sky on blue and the Queen of the Night standing for cosmic infinity. F.X. calls the wine \"an experience for the senses, an artistic synthesis.\" That's a lot to promise, and a Wachau Smaragd with this much bottle age is the right place to find out if it holds up.
