Mosel Riesling from slate slopes: dry wines and noble-sweet expressions.

Leo Fuchs works the steep slate slopes of the Mosel, where Riesling thrives in one of Germany's most demanding terroirs. The winery's portfolio centers on dry and late-harvest expressions of Riesling, each shaped by the region's mineral-rich schist soils and cool continental climate. The Klottener Brauneberg Riesling Trocken and Vom Grauen Schiefer Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese represent the range—from crisp, structured dry wines to concentrated sweet wines built on botrytis. Falstaff has rated the winery's Rieslings, with both the Klottener Brauneberg and the Vom Grauen Schiefer earning recognition at 89 points. The Pommerner Rosenberg Riesling Trocken rounds out the core lineup. These wines reflect the precision and balance the Mosel demands: high acidity, mineral tension, and the ability to age.
