Weingut Franzen farms the Bremmer Calmont, widely called the steepest vineyard in Europe, a dizzying wall of slate on the Mosel that pitches up to a 60 percent gradient. Kilian and Angelina Franzen continue the heroic recultivation work Kilian's father began, hand-tending terraces. This Kabinett shows why the effort is worth it: a light, low-alcohol, off-dry Riesling of remarkable delicacy and tension, all driven by that blue-grey Devonian slate. It's the kind of bottle that makes the case for one of Germany's most extreme terroirs in a single glass.

More about Weingut Franzen

Along the Mosel, north of the Middle Mosel's famous villages (Bernkastel and the like), the old generations did great things. They took the incredibly steep slopes that rose sharply from the river, and worked them into terraces, which preserved the advantages of sun exposure while giving vines a chance to develop complex root systems.

So steep are these mountains that (they say, anyway) the most vertiginous vineyard in all of Europe is here, a place called Bremmer Calmont. It's an ultra-steep, treacherous amphitheater of vines on red Devonian slate. A site that sheer is a lot of work and not a lot of people would be champing at the bit to get in there and get to it. But the husband-wife winery known as Franzen saw the great potential for winemaking, despite—or maybe because of—that hard work.

The husband’s father (the kids can't get all the credit) bought all the land he could find in the area, cobbling together an estate from 112 parcels with different owners, including some in China, the US and Australia! And now the kids really are doing the hard work of actually farming—by hand of course—the terraces.

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!
