The family-run winery Albert KALLFELZ is located in Zell-Merl, one of the oldest wine towns on the Moselle. For over 100 years, high-quality wines have been produced here. The winery currently encompasses approximately 60 hectares of vineyard area. A large part of it lies in mineral-rich slate steep slopes, which are among the best in the world. The grapes find ideal growing conditions on the warm, dry steep slopes with a southern exposure. Here, unique Riesling wines thrive, which impress with their fine fruity and mineral character. With 90% of the vineyard area, Riesling is the most important grape variety of the winery. Other grape varieties include Pinot Blanc and Rivaner. The top sites of the winery include “Merler Adler,” “Merler Stephansberg,” “Merler Fettgarten,” and “Merler Königslay-Terrassen.” “We must carry the Moselle slate, which gives our wine its character and power, in our hands” is just one of many principles that the KALLFELZ team takes to heart.

The reward for the collective efforts is many national and international awards at honest, independent, and verifiable competitions. In the DLG ranking “Top 100 Best Businesses in Germany,” the winery Albert KALLFELZ is recognized as the best Riesling producer. The winery has been awarded the Federal Honor Prize, the highest accolade in the German wine industry, for the 13th time.

The motto of the winery is “From the idealist for the individualist.” Behind this is the belief that good wine can only be achieved with much diligence and honest craftsmanship. The slate steep slopes provide a unique foundation for unmistakable, characterful wines. The preservation of old Riesling vines and new plantings in the challenging but unique slate steep slopes are the basis for great, minerality-driven wines. Otherwise, in Zell-Merl, they rely on time – a lot of time. The young wine also needs time to become a true pleasure.
