Mosel Pinot Noir is the new sentence everyone wants to learn, and Max Kilburg is one of the few writing it well. Max is a 20th-generation Mosel winemaker farming the family's Geierslay estate plus a tiny micro-project of old-vine Grand Cru parcels (about 1.2 hectares total). He trained with Julian Haart, and you can taste the rigor. This Pinot is only his third vintage from Ohligsberg, a steep, blue-slate Grand Cru in Wintrich, off old vines his father planted in the mid-1980s. The style splits the difference between Fourrier-style fleshiness and Mosel transparency: vivid red fruit, slate-driven minerality, weightless texture, and tannins so fine they almost vanish. Rare, improbable, and very compelling.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck, mushroom risotto, salmon teriyaki, or pasta with fresh truffle shavings. Light enough for a beet salad with goat cheese; structured enough for grilled quail or charcuterie. A Pinot-shaped match across the board.

Tasting Profile

Bright red cherry and pomegranate, with crushed slate, rose petal, and a thread of cool spice. Light-to-medium-bodied and transparent, with fine, almost dissolving tannin and a long, mineral-driven 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!
