The Grand Cru dry wines of Weiser-Künstler are among the most cerebral dry Rieslings made in the Mosel. They are wines of meditation, wines that seem to have something more to do with distillates or teas made from stone, ore and flower. They have very little easy fruit to hang one’s hat on. In other words, they are among the most thrilling wines from this fabled place.
This is, as always the fruitiest – it’s almost musky this year, perfumed and floral, abundant purple tones, quince, blueberry, almond… the palate is fine, light, evaporative – the fruit veers from tart stonefruit to bosc pear – plenty salty and herbal with green stalks. It’s bulbous and fun – perky… almost green apple skins, or just the flesh – tart but not chewy.
If you can, do not decant, yet keep the wine open for as long as you can; it is only more intriguing on days three and beyond.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The Steffensberg 2024, as it is referred to on the consumer label, underwent 18 hours of pre-fermentation maceration (Maischestandzeit) and was fermented down to dry levels of residual sugar and aged in 500-liter tonneau before being bottled in September 2025. It delivers a beautifully flowery and enticing nose of jasmine, lily, orange blossom, vineyard peach, almond, flintstone, and smoke. The wine proves straight and quite energetic on the palate, which remains superbly fresh and lively. The finish proves tart and mouth-watering, with both depth and lightness. This is a stunning dry Riesling from the 2024 vintage. | No. 81 July 2026 |
