Notes from Becky Wasserman & Co:

"This will sound odd: we were not looking for a Riesling producer in Germany.

Don’t get us wrong, we believe German Rieslings are among the greatest wines in the world. But the space devoted to the category is confined and the US importers doing it justice already have to elbow for room.

It wasn’t a hard no — we’re not idiots — but if we were to work with a Riesling producer, they’d better have something meaningful to add to the conversation.

In the exhilarating space between classic and natural wine, and after only three vintages, Alex Schregel has hit the nail on the head with such clarity it will draw from your lips a Hallelujah.

Riesling’s affinity with the crystalline does not hurt, nor do vineyards once considered as some of the greatest. But let’s not take away from the human: Alex Schregel, who has yet to turn 30, is an immensely compelling talent in a region whose terroirs might be the most deserving of a Renaissance."
