Winding Trail
Photograph by Tobias Hannemann.
A trail winds mid slope in the steep Palmberg-Terrassen behind the village of St. Aldegund. The old ungrafted vines are trained in the traditional manner on wooden stakes. The 2008 St. Aldegunder Palmberg-Terrassen Riesling Spätlese trocken is still fermenting in two old barrels. Meanwhile, you can taste Stein’s 2007 feinherb edition.

Hey Lars,
I just had a great wine of yours and blogged it up.

Yeah, that’s a great photo of you with Ramses. Stefan’s wines are very good and undervalued. I had his 2007 Alte Reben recently and was also impressed with his 2007 Veldenzer Graftschafter Sonnenberg feinherb. The latter has 25 g/l RS and is so filigreed. Congratulations on getting the writing assignment at Organic Wine Journal. We’ve been working hard the last couple of months on our MWM 2009.
