Zehnkommanull means '10.0' — the wine ferments bone-dry and never tips above 10% alcohol, a quiet marvel made possible by very old vines on limestone giving full phenolic ripeness without ever building much sugar. Matthias Hild has been making this cuvée since 1986 from a tiny 0.15-hectare parcel of terraced Elbling in Wincheringen on the Obermosel, and total U.S. allocation runs about 30–50 cases a year. It's less a wine to sell than an act of cultural preservation: Elbling is one of Europe's oldest grapes, nearly extinct, and this bottling makes the strongest possible argument for its survival. Bone-dry, low-pH, crackling with chalky energy — a singular German white and one of the great values in serious wine.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A platter of oysters, sushi, salt-baked fish, fresh goat cheese, or a simple plate of cucumber and dill. The low alcohol and high acid make it a brilliant lunch wine.

Tasting Profile

Lemon zest, green apple skin, white flowers, and crushed chalk. The palate is bone-dry, ultra-light, and brisk, with low-pH electricity, a faint herbal lift, and a finish that lingers on minerality rather than fruit.

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!
