A new cuvée! Previously this all went to Quebec, but we will get some for NY this year. Grown in grey slate on the Marienburg. Spontaneously fermented, macerated extra time on the skins, then matured 15 months on the lees in Clemens’ big old (50+yr) German oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined. A...

65-90 year old ungrafted vines planted on grey slate. A dry wine from a site famous for its noble sweets. Firm, vivid, gingery, incredibly ripe and saline with acidity that elevates it to a quiveringly “alive” state of being. Perhaps the best food wine in this collection and clearly a long term...

The blue slate entry in Clemens' "slate series," identified by its steel blue capsule. Usually released later than the grey and red slate wines, vinified in steel. A dry Riesling of length and strength. The blue slate (blauen schiefer) consistently lends firmness, incredible mineral tension, and a...

The namesake vineyard of the estate, a Grand Cru created by blasting the toweringly steep cliff face to rubble in the 1840s. Grey slate, thin topsoil, perfect exposition, extremely old, pre-phylloxera vines on their original rootstock, and a legendary history makes this one of the living treasures...

The Grand Cru Ellergrub is Gernot’s favorite vineyard to work. Century-old, pre-phylloxera, ungrafted vines planted on a blue slate hillside of dizzying steepness renders a wine that’s nothing short of profound. It offers intense flavor, integrated juiciness, sensuous texture and extraordinary...

The Trabener Zollturm is sourced from the old-vines portion of a hectare recently acquired from a Kröv vintner in a once highly rated site just upstream from Gaispfad and Ellergrub.

Outrageously delicious, fruity (feinherb) Riesling from this woman-owned micro-estate working on the natural end of the spectrum, sourced from absurdly steep terraces in the far northern Mosel, mostly from Winningen and Kobern. Spontaneous fermentation, no chaptalization, no fining, no additions or...

"GP" is an in-house designation for Grosses Piesporter or "Great Piesporter," Stefan's equivalent of a GG designation. "Wow! This is what I call a sexy bouquet! ...lush and a bit untamed on the nose, showing crunchy/flinty slate as well as intense and juicy ripe Riesling flavors."" -Stefan Reinhardt

"This is an amazing dry Mosel with breathtakingly intense minerality and herbal freshness that makes the flavors so vibrant and finely etched. That it’s only medium-bodied makes it even more delightful.
