2021 Unterlind Trittenheimer Altarchen-Weierbach Riesling Spätlese Mosel

Notes

Founded in 2019 by Heiner Bollig and Veronika Bollig-Lintner, Unterlind is a tiny, roughly 1.8-hectare estate based in Trittenheim. Both work at the legendary Weingut Egon Müller on the Saar: Heiner as vineyard and estate manager, and Veronika in sales and tastings. The couple focuses on classic German Riesling Prädikat wines, particularly Kabinett and Spätlese, from small parcels in some of the Mosel's most celebrated vineyards. They farm with an emphasis on careful soil cultivation, avoiding herbicides and limiting plant-protection treatments. In the cellar, fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel, with an emphasis on native yeasts and minimal intervention. The goal is to preserve the natural balance of fruit, acidity, residual sugar, and slate-driven character.
