Weingut Manfred Franzen
Weingut Manfred Franzen works the steep vineyards of the Mosel, where Riesling thrives in slate and schist. The winery's portfolio centers on the classified sites of Erdener Treppchen and Erdener Busslay, two of the region's most demanding terroirs. The Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese and Spätlese represent the winery's commitment to capturing the mineral precision and stone-fruit intensity that define these parcels at their finest. A Kabinett from Busslay offers a lighter expression of the same vineyard character. Both Falstaff and Wine Advocate have assessed these wines, recognizing their structure and depth. The Mosel's cool climate and the winery's focus on noble late-harvest styles shape a range built on acidity, complexity, and the distinctive terroir of Germany's most celebrated river valley.
