Max Kilburg — who emerged almost out of nowhere in 2019 and rocketed into the region's top tier — farms old vines on its steep blue slate. Kilburg is a 20th-generation Wintrich grower who took over the family's historic Weingut Geierslay, trained at Geisenheim, and did time with Julian Haart, perhaps the most coveted name on the river; his own micro-project runs to barely 1.2 hectares of old-vine Grand Cru parcels. Spätlese here means the classical Mosel bargain: a touch of sweetness, modest alcohol, and acidity that keeps the whole thing weightless. Of his two Grand Crus, Goldtröpfchen is the warmer site but the brighter, more linear wine — stone fruit and spice rather than Ohligsberg's darker power. This is a genuinely exciting entry point into one of Germany's great sites.

More about Max Kilburg

Max Kilburg, the 20th generation of a Mosel winemaking family, is one of the brightest young stars of German Riesling. Alongside the family's Geierslay estate, he farms barely two hectares of his own, including old-vine parcels in the grand cru sites Ohligsberg and Goldtröpfchen. His Rieslings, dry and sweet, taste like pure slate and mineral electricity. Authentic, unshowy, unforgettable.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Thai green curry, Sichuan mapo tofu, pork schnitzel with lemon, smoked trout with horseradish cream, or a ripe washed-rind cheese like Époisses.

Tasting Profile

Peach, apricot and lime with a smoky wet-stone note and a touch of spice and herb. Light-bodied and modest in alcohol, with gentle sweetness cut by bright, piercing acidity, so it tastes more refreshing than sweet. Long, clean, mineral 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!
