Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Kuenstler hand-farm the steep Trarbacher Schlossberg with no herbicides, their main organic-certified sites giving clear Riesling.
Tip: Tiny production and cult demand mean the organic-certified Schlossberg Kabinett sells out fast; buy through the importer on release.
