Mosel Riesling across the classic ripeness spectrum, rated by Falstaff.

Michael Trossen produces Riesling from Germany's Mosel region, where slate soils and cool-climate conditions shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The winery's portfolio centers on the classic Mosel hierarchy of ripeness levels: Kabinett, Spätlese Feinherb, and Spätlese Trocken. Each represents a distinct expression of Riesling's range—from delicate and off-dry to fuller and bone-dry. Falstaff has rated the Spätlese Trocken and Spätlese Feinherb at 88 points, while the Kabinett scores 87. These are wines built on the region's traditional framework: high acidity, low alcohol, and the interplay between residual sugar and mineral structure that defines serious Mosel Riesling.
