2023 Ulli Stein Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Feinherb Mosel, Germany
$36.00
This wine is sort of the sleeper in the line-up, without the fame of vine age as 1900 or the dry punch of Palmberg...this wine is perhaps the purest Mosel of them all. The wine always ends in the Feinherb range, and is sourced from 80+ year old vines in terraced vineyards on blue and grey slate...the wine always shows kaleidoscopic flavors of blues and greens, a tarragon and anise.

A Trip to Germany
In July I went to Germany for the first time, spending almost the entire trip in the Mosel – seeing places I’ve only read about, connecting familiar faces to their home turf and, celebrating 10 years of inspired work by importer vom Boden.
With a swath of German new arrivals landing, too, it felt like a good time to reflect on the 2022 vintage, share some takeaways from the trip and share details on our next in-person event. - Chris
