This is Ulli Stein's Grand Cru: the Palmberg-Terrassen, his spiritual home, a wall of ancient terraces built from dry-stacked slate walls and planted to ungrafted vines 90 years and older. The site is cut by a side valley that angles it away from the Mosel and funnels cool wind down over the vines — for most of its history that meant full ripeness arrived only in the best years, and in a warming climate it has become the estate's greatest asset. Bottled as Kabinett Trocken, which is to say bone dry, this is Stein's argument that cut matters more than size and lightness more than gobs of fruit. Ruthless, mineral and faintly phenolic, it's the kind of Riesling that rewards drinkers who want tension rather than comfort. Stein farms only parcels that are hard to work, commercially unknown and barely financially viable — he has to love them.

More about Stein

Ulli Stein is a rebel who spent eight years fighting German wine law to revive the traditional straw wine style. His Mosel Rieslings come from ancient ungrafted vines on impossible slopes, made dry and with laser-focused precision. This is winemaking as defiance.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Trout with brown butter and almonds, schnitzel with lemon, raw oysters, smoked eel or mackerel, roast chicken with herbs, or a plate of aged Gouda and cured ham.

Tasting Profile

Bone dry and light-bodied, with lemon, green apple and white peach over a strong smoky, stony slate note. The acidity is bracing and the texture has a slight phenolic grip, like citrus pith. Long, salty, mineral finish with no sweetness to round it off.

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!
