St Michael

Pfalz Riesling across dry and off-dry styles, rated by major critics.

St Michael operates in the Pfalz, Germany's warmest wine region, where Riesling thrives with distinctive ripeness and mineral character. The winery's portfolio centers on Riesling across multiple styles and sweetness levels. The Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling Spätlese Feinherb—a off-dry expression from a classified vineyard site—represents the upper tier of the range, followed by a broader Riesling Spätlese and a dry Riesling. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines, reflecting their standing within the German Riesling category. The Pfalz's continental climate and sandy, loamy soils allow for extended ripening, a condition St Michael's Spätlese designations exploit to build complexity and depth. These are wines built on varietal purity rather than blending, anchored in the region's signature approach to Riesling production.
