The wines made by married couple Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Kรผnstler are like nothing else coming out of the Mosel. They have beautiful, delineated, and almost crystalline structures, minerality to spare, and dazzling fruit purity.โจโจ
These are cerebral, thought-provoking wines that benefit from cellaring. Theyโre racy and super-fresh, vibrating with Riesling tension. I probably wouldnโt offer a bottle of Weiser-Kรผnstler to a Mosel newbie, someone looking for plush stone fruit and a hefty dose of sugar. These are wines for wine lovers, patient drinkers, and anyone interested in what old vines from one of the worldโs most difficult terrains can yield.
Rare for the region, Weiser-Kรผnstler is certified organic. They employ no mechanization in the vines, nor could they, if they wanted. The slopes are simply too steep and unforgiving. Konstantin and Alexandra may not have vines in the most famous vineyards, but theyโve worked tirelessly to highlight this unassuming yet truly great terroir. Ellergrub, Gaispfad and Steffensberg are home to old (80-100 years of age), ungrafted vines; the wines coming from these sites are truly special.
