Wine Identification
The Zimmermann-Graeff & Müller Riesling Steillage Feinherb is a white wine from the 2023 vintage. Produced by the Weinkellerei founded in 1886 by Jacob Zimmermann in Zell an der Mosel, this bottling represents the "Peter & Peter" range, which serves as the regional Moselle expression of the house. It comes from the Mosel and is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes.

Origin and Winemaking
The vineyards are located on the steep slate slopes surrounding Zell, an area known as Terrassenmosel within the Mittelmosel region of Germany. The winery collaborates with approximately 1,000 regional growers to source its fruit. The grapes were harvested manually to ensure careful selection before vinification. This specific style is classified as QbA (Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete).

Expected Profile and Tasting Notes
This wine presents an off-dry (feinherb) profile, characterized by a residual sugar level of approximately 22–26 g/L. Despite this noticeable sweetness, the wine maintains balance through pronounced acidity typical of Mosel Rieslings. The palate is expected to reflect the mineral influence of the blue slate soils that define the local terroir. With an alcohol content of 11% vol., it offers a crisp structure that complements the fruit intensity and residual sweetness.

Overall Character
The Zimmermann-Graeff & Müller Riesling Steillage Feinherb 2023 is a classic example of Mosel regional winemaking. It combines traditional viticulture on steep slate terraces with a modern, accessible style that balances sugar and acid. The result is a vibrant, structured white wine that highlights the distinct minerality of the Zell region while providing a refreshing, slightly sweet drinking experience suitable for a variety of occasions.

Learn more about Zimmermann-Graeff & Müller

It is worth placing it: this is not an estate but a large Mosel producer, the kind that works with fruit from hundreds of growers in the area. Peter & Peter is its Mosel range.

The compound surname has a domestic explanation. Jacob Zimmermann founded the house in Zell in 1886 and added his wife's maiden name, Graeff, to his own simply so that his company would not be confused with his brother's.

Jacob died of a heart attack at fifty-six while on a business trip. Continuity came down the female line: Ferdinand Hübinger married his daughter Frieda Zimmermann-Graeff and joined the company as the second generation. Today ownership rests with their great-great-grandchildren, Tina Schiemann and Dominik Hübinger.

In 1998 the house merged with Rudolf Müller and the present group, ZGM, was born. Since April 2023 its shares have belonged to the French group Les Grands Chais de France, though it continues to operate independently. It exports to more than forty-five countries.
