The very steep Apotheke vineyard, across the Mosel from the estate house, is Stefan’s best site in Trittenheim. ‘Apotheke’ translates to ‘pharmacy’, and its medicinal power is perhaps more than a myth. Stefan Bollig’s wines are stylish and crisp with a fine fruity elegance and good mineral content. The fine structure of ripe acidity gives his wines plenty of maturing potential.
Fragrant aromas of elderflower, black currant leaf, apple and slate. Accented by rich notes of tropical fruit, including guava and pineapple. A bracing structure drives the apple and stone flavors to fill a lingering finish.
Try pairing this offdry Riesling with salty and/or spicy dishes such as tandoori chicken, szechuan shrimp or other Asianinspired dishes.
91 Wine Enthusiast Shades of slate and sunbaked earth permeate into pink grapefruit and guava in this piercing ballerina-like Kabinett. Laced with sweet nectar and backed by a firm undertone of acidity and steel, it's a laser-edged white that finishes on a long, intensely mineral crush. Irresistible in youth but concentrated enough to drink well through 2025, at least.
