Immich-Batterieberg, Riesling Trocken Steffensberg, 2024 [Pre-Arrival ETA 7/15]
Most of the Mosel's great slopes are gray or blue slate, but Steffensberg is red, and that iron- and copper-rich rock throws off a distinctly spicy, exotic character you won't find in its neighbors. This dry single cru comes from roughly 60-year-old ungrafted vines on those steep red terraces, farmed organically by Gernot Kollmann and fermented dry with wild yeast. It's the estate's point of contrast, all mandarin orange and spicy florals where the blue-slate wines lean cool and mineral. Raised in old wood and built with real depth, it drinks like a premier cru. Red slate is the wild card, and this is your chance to taste why. [Pre-arrival: expected to arrive mid-July.]
