Stefan Müller holds vineyards in the villages of Niedermennig and Krettnach. One of his prized sites is a parcel of 50 year-old vines (“alte reben”) situated in the western, south-west-facing part of the Niedermenniger Sonnenberg. This parcel is situated on iron-rich slate on a base of deep red soil. Year after year it is our favorite Kabi from Stefan.
Stefan Müller delivered handsomely in 2018. His wines are packed with racy acidity and fresh flavors. While they show indeed a little bit more flesh on the bone than in recent vintages, they remain utterly commendable. The fruity-styled wines (Kabinett and Spätlese) are particularly successful and among the finest of the vintage. The off-dry wines are superbly racy and spicy and the Auslese are luscious yet focused and firm. This Estate is now among the finest of the region, and a must address for acid-affine lovers of Saar Riesling."
