Rothenpfad was mentioned in the historic Mosel wine map as among the best in the region. The red slate that dominates here provides the wines with an herbal-spicy note, balanced with a definite off-dry note.
Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. In the world of Riesling, the Mosel is king, and their wines capture its essence like no other.
Since 2015, they’ve been part of Respekt, a group of biodynamic winemakers. But Clemens has been ahead of the game for decades—he ditched herbicides back in 1976 and embraced organic viticulture long before it became mainstream. Nowhere else is the connection between vine, winemaker, and terroir so perfectly expressed—and honestly, we’ve yet to find Rieslings quite like these.
Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2036
What the critics say:
"An explosion of wild berries and herbs with a touch of forest floor character makes this an extremely expressive dry riesling. I love the energy and intense crushed rock minerality that make this really stand out in the crowd. Such a long and fascinating wild herb finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
"Much stonier compared with the radiant citrus dreamscape of the Falkenlay – wild herbs, lavender and dark spice. Vibrant minerality, firm structure. Salted lemons, tremendous concentration and undeveloped power. Edgy and long."
