One of the Mosel's most underrated Grand Crus, in the hands of a young perfectionist. Max Kilburg, a 20th-generation winemaker on the family's Geierslay estate, farms barely over a hectare of old-vine Grand Cru parcels, and Ohligsberg is the showpiece: a steep, south-facing site in Wintrich on weathered blue and gray slate that retains heat and drains hard. The Grand Cru Trocken — Grosses Gewächs-like in style, though not labeled as an official GG — is a tense, deep wine, often compared by Mosel growers themselves to Willi Schaefer's Domprobst for its taut, baroque architecture. The 2024 vintage was tiny but precise. Expect darker stone fruit, mineral depth, and the kind of cut and length that argues this is one of the great dry Rieslings of the river.

He farms his family's Geierslay estate and his own micro-project—just 1.2 hectares of old-vine Grand Cru parcels. His Rieslings taste like pure slate and mineral electricity. Authentic, unshowy, unforgettable.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pristine for sushi and sashimi, oysters, or grilled white fish with herbs. The structure and mineral cut also handle roast chicken with lemon, schnitzel, Thai green curry, and aged Alpine cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Darker, stone-fruited Riesling: white peach, quince, and a deep mineral undertow of slate and crushed rock. Bone-dry, tightly wound, and powerful without being heavy, with great length and a saline, savory finish.

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!
