Weingut in den Zehn Morgen, Riesling Steinberg Monopol, 2021

Weingut in den Zehn Morgen’s Riesling Steinberg Monopol 2021 is a beautifully composed Nahe Riesling that trades razor-sharp austerity for a softer, more generous expression. From the winery’s single-owner Steinberg site, this is a wine with both precision and charm, shaped by careful cellar work and the distinct identity of a true monopole vineyard.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it opens with a lifted, inviting nose of ripe apple, pear, apricot and peach. Subtle sur lie notes add a gentle layer of yeastiness, reminiscent of fresh dough and English scones, giving the bouquet extra depth and nuance. On the palate, the wine is supple and creamy in texture, yet firmly framed by a finely woven acidity that keeps everything focused and poised. The fruit feels ripe and juicy rather than tart, with the acidity lingering more as a graceful backdrop and a lively finish than an overt edge. While already highly enjoyable, it should also develop nicely over the next several years, gaining additional complexity and a more rounded texture.

Production
The grapes come from the Steinberg vineyard, owned entirely by Weingut in den Zehn Morgen, which allows the estate to label the wine as a monopole. Located in the Nahe, the site contributes the balance, freshness and fruit purity typical of the region, while the winery’s cellar approach emphasizes texture and subtle complexity. The wine was spontaneously fermented in large, used oak casks and then aged sur lie for 10 months before bottling. This gentle élevage adds softness, mid-palate depth and a delicate savory edge without overwhelming the Riesling’s natural fruit character.

Food & Serving
This Riesling is a versatile partner for roast chicken, grilled seafood, pork with light cream sauces, and dishes with gentle spice such as Asian-inspired cuisine. It also works well with soft cheeses and vegetable dishes that have a touch of richness. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a little time in the glass will help the wine раскры its full aromatic range.

Producer
Weingut in den Zehn Morgen is a respected Nahe producer with a strong focus on site expression and carefully crafted Rieslings. The estate’s monopole ownership of Steinberg is a notable advantage, giving the winery complete control over one of its most distinctive vineyards. With wines that combine finesse, balance and quiet complexity, the producer has established a clear identity in one of Germany’s most exciting wine regions.
