Stein, Riesling Blauschiefer Trocken, 2025
Ulli Stein has spent his career defending vineyards most sane people would refuse to climb. Trained in oenology at Geisenheim with a doctorate in biology on top, he has become the loudest advocate for the Mosel's near-vertical slate terraces at a time when plenty of growers were happy to abandon them. Blauschiefer means blue slate, the stone these vines dig into, and Trocken means dry - no hedging, no residual sugar to soften the edges. Expect lemon and green apple, a smoky mineral streak, and acidity that arrives like cold water. It is a bracing, honest introduction to one of the Mosel's great holdouts.
