Mosel Riesling from Ürziger Würzgarten's slate slopes, dry to dessert.

Jos. Christoffel Jr. works the steep slopes of Ürziger Würzgarten in Germany's Mosel region, where Riesling thrives in slate-rich soils and cool conditions. The vineyard's mineral-driven terroir shapes wines of precision and depth across the ripeness spectrum. The Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Trocken—a dry expression—demonstrates the site's ability to balance acidity with structure. Sweet selections follow the classical Mosel hierarchy: the Auslese Eiswein captures concentrated fruit and botrytis character, while the Beerenauslese extends into richer, more honeyed territory. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Riesling from this corner of the Mosel carries both the region's signature elegance and the particular intensity that comes from Würzgarten's demanding vineyard.
