Joh.Jos.Christoffel
In Germany, on the Mosel near Ürzig, Joh. Jos. Christoffel represents a lineage of winegrowing that reaches back more than 400 years—steep vineyards rising above the river and a historic timber‑framed estate house dating to the 17th century. Iconic sites such as Ürziger Würzgarten and Erdener Treppchen are defined by red slate and volcanic rock, and many Riesling vines are remarkably old, demanding handwork and rewarding patience.
The approach is unapologetically classic: selective harvesting, gentle pressing, slow fermentations and élevage that prioritizes time, often with extended lees contact to build finesse from within. Since 2001 the estate has continued under new stewardship while keeping the traditional Christoffel style intact—quiet, site-led and precise.
Rather than chasing trends, Christoffel lets the Mosel speak through slope, slate and long experience with Riesling, a reference point for those who value origin above fashion.Joh.Jos.Christoffel
