Excellent dry Riesling from one of our favorite producers, this bottling is sourced from old vines (average age is 60, some are ungrafted and 75+ years old) and drinks way above its price point. 

Blauschiefer (blue slate) is one tier up from Ulli Stein’s entry level wine. But if you’ve ever seen pictures of the Mosel vineyards you’ll understand that there’s no such thing as entry-level grape growing to be done there. All of the grapes used for this wine come from very steep, slated vineyards such as Himmelrich and Stein’s own mountain: Palmberg.

The wine offers a beautiful nose of pear, white peach and lots of minerality. Playful and light-footed, mouth-watering, zesty - essentially rocks pulverized into liquid form with brisk and beautiful acidity. For fans of complex, mineral-driven white wines like Sancerre, Chablis, Santorini
