Weingut Franzen farms the Bremmer Calmont, often called the steepest vineyard in Europe, a vertiginous slope of Devonian slate on the Mosel that climbs to a 60 percent gradient. The Franzen family has spent decades recultivating these abandoned terraces by hand, and the wines repay every ounce of effort. This Zeit bottling is a feinherb Riesling, off-dry in the gentlest sense, balancing a touch of sweetness against the slate's mineral cut. With a few years of age now, it has gained some richness and texture while keeping its Mosel freshness, an excellent introduction to one of Germany's most dramatic terroirs.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast pork, charcuterie, mild curries, or creamy cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and gently off-dry, with ripe stone fruit, apple, and citrus over a stony slate minerality. Bright acidity keeps the slight sweetness in balance; rounded and refreshing.

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!
