This is an Auslese from a single named parcel inside one of the Mosel's historic top sites, made by an estate whose total output is tiny to begin with. Im Löwenbaum sits at the heart of the Steffensberg in the village of Enkirch, a vineyard already marked as Grand Cru on an 1897 map of the Mosel. Vom Boden, the estate's importer, calls it a prime lieu-dit (named parcel), with old vines still trained on single poles in the traditional Mosel way. Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler, a married couple, farm organically (certified) on slopes too steep for any machine, and vines that old give meager yields. In some years the same parcel has gone into a Feinherb that Vom Boden calls the estate's most curious wine: really a Spätlese fermented almost dry. That's a good hint of how much this parcel can carry, and here it's been left sweet. The house makes cerebral wines that reward cellaring, so there's no rush to open this 375ml bottle. Given how hard this farming is, it's remarkably fairly priced.

"From the steepest blue slate slope of the cru comes the 2025 Enkircher Steffensberg Auslese Im Löwenbaum that is based on overripe, pink-colored grapes. The wine offers a clear, fresh and pure, flinty and savory bouquet of ripe and lush fruits as well as blue slate splitters. Succulent and refined on the palate, this is an intense and concentrated, super saline, crystalline and mouthwatering Auslese with a long, intense and aromatic finish. This will be highly digestible in 5–10 years and still in 30 or even 40 years. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in March 2026." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Weiser-Kunstler

The wines made by married couple Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler are like nothing else coming out of the Mosel. They have beautiful, delineated, and almost crystalline structures, minerality to spare, and dazzling fruit purity.



These are cerebral, thought-provoking wines that benefit from cellaring. They’re racy and super-fresh, vibrating with Riesling tension. I probably wouldn’t offer a bottle of Weiser-Künstler to a Mosel newbie, someone looking for plush stone fruit and a hefty dose of sugar. These are wines for wine lovers, patient drinkers, and anyone interested in what old vines from one of the world’s most difficult terrains can yield.

Rare for the region, Weiser-Künstler is certified organic. They employ no mechanization in the vines, nor could they, if they wanted. The slopes are simply too steep and unforgiving. Konstantin and Alexandra may not have vines in the most famous vineyards, but they’ve worked tirelessly to highlight this unassuming yet truly great terroir. Ellergrub, Gaispfad and Steffensberg are home to old (80-100 years of age), ungrafted vines; the wines coming from these sites are truly special.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
