Ulli Stein has become a cult figure in the wine world. He and his wife cultivate on steep blue slate slopes and live at their mountaintop inn overlooking Mosel receiving a constant flow of devoted Ulli fans making the pilgrimage. Mostly sourced from vines in the St. Aldegunder Klosterkammer. Practicing organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar.
Weihwasser ('holy water') is a stunning "Feinherb" Riesling (meaning there is just the tiniest pearl of residual sugar left in the wine, and in perfect balance with the zesty acidity and ripe fruit). Asian pear, lychee, and salty lemon on a summer’s day, light and fresh with backbone to boot, off-dry finish. We want to drink this every day.
