Vineyard Albert Kallfelz

Albert Kallfelz has promoted his family vineyards to a leading Riesling producer. His family has produced wines for more than hundred years. Today, it is one of the biggest and most successful vineyards at the Mosel. Albert Kallfelz follows a clear philosophy: “Wines from an individualist for individualists”.

The perfect symbiosis of soils, climate, the Riesling grape, and a lot of careful labour has resulted in unique Rieslings. Kallfelz wines have a very intense minerality, whilst being light, refreshing and fruity. As opposed to other Mosel vintners, Kallfelz keeps acid levels in his wines low, ensuring very agreeable wines.

Amongst others, Albert Kallfelz’ wines won the international Riesling Grand Prix three times, Gold at the 2013 Riesling du Monde competition in Strasbourg, and several gold medals at the Mundus Vini wine competition. In Germany, he has won the prize for best Riesling 13 times. Despite this success, he never yielded the temptation to increase the very fair prices for his wines.
