This is the everyday, bone-dry face of a cult Saar grower, and it's the easiest place to fall for Stefan Muller. The fruit comes off old vines at the top of the red-slate Herrenberg, a site known to throw a dash of spice into the glass. Vinified fully dry in a mix of steel and old cask, it's crunchy, mineral, and full of nervous energy, the kind of Riesling that snaps you awake. Low in alcohol and endlessly food-friendly, it's the sort of bottle you'll want by the case. Muller is a young, up-and-coming grower helping shine a light on an almost-forgotten corner of the Saar (the broad Saar renaissance is generally credited to van Volxem and anchored by Egon Muller). Pre-arrival, landing mid-July.

More about Stefan Muller

The Saar has always been ground zero for the most delicate, mineral driven and laser beam focused wines in the world. Much of these ancient, super steep and very cold sites were abandoned in the 20th century due to their difficult vintages and high cost of production. But it remained famous thanks to the great Egon Muller and now is home to a some of the most electric wines on the planet.

Stefan farms 10 hectares of hillsides, full of vines along with a diverse biosphere thanks to his strict avoidance of herbicides and pesticides. His sites are diverse and depicted topographically on each label. The most well-known is Krettnacher Altenberg—mainly blue slate and the local green slate known as Diabas (Zilliken has vines here). Their largest holding is the Euchariusberg (home to Falkenstein) where they have 5 hectares of vines planted in 1944 and 1964. Along with old, ungrafted vines on red slate parcels in Niedermennig.

There is no recipe in the cellar with each vintage and site dictating its usage of tank or barrel, sweet or dry, fermented with wild yeasts and completely singular. The wines at Müller are exquisitely balanced, succulent, wildly aromatic, unapologetically ripe, and true to the Saar.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A shellfish magnet: oysters, shrimp, grilled trout. Also great with salads, roast chicken, or lighter pork dishes.

Tasting Profile

Bone-dry and light-bodied, with citrus, orchard fruit, and a peppery mineral streak. Bright acidity makes it crisp and energetic.

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!
