True Riesling aficionados know 20th generation winemaker Max Kilburg is quietly making some of the most exciting wine in the Mosel. In addition to running his historic family’s winery Weingut Geierslay, his solo project focused on a few old-vine parcels in Ohligsberg and Goldtropfchen is among the most interesting and notable things happening in German wine.
Although we have just started seeing Kilburg floating around the market, there is some backstory to these wines, that makes the quality of what we have tasted make complete sense. Max is 20th(!) generation winemaker at this family's estate, Geierslay. Aside from that Max spent time working with one of our other favorite producers at the moment, Julian Haart. Wanting to take what he learned and the incredible land of his family, Max started his own label from 1.2 ha of Grand Cru vines Ohligsberg and Goldtropfhcen. Max is doing quite an incredible job at trying to dial in the way we look at Germany. These wines don't just represent "Mosel Riesling", but are deeper than that, giving a true reflection and identity of the individual vineyards they come from. Something we don't do often enough in Germany.
