Meulenhof’s Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese trocken comes from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated steep-slope vineyards, where handwork is still essential and every decision in the vineyard shapes the final wine. Erdener Treppchen sits on a dramatic south-facing hillside in Erden, its stone steps and near-vertical terraces reflecting centuries of cultivation on slate-rich ground. That combination of old-vineyard heritage, cool-climate ripening, and painstaking manual farming gives the wine its signature balance of ripeness, cut, and mineral detail.

The Meulenhof estate itself carries a remarkable sense of continuity, with roots traced back to 1337 and a long history tied to the Mosel’s monastic and family farming traditions. Today, it is managed by Stefan Justen, who continues the estate’s focused, small-production approach across prized parcels such as Erdener Treppchen, Erden Prälat, and Wehlen Sonnenuhr. His style preserves the vineyard’s clarity and tension while honoring classic Mosel methods, including gentle pressing, controlled fermentation, and a commitment to letting the site speak through the wine.
