Our home represents our biggest treasure,”
Georg and Stephan Schwedhelm
report. “The poor soils of limestone
and clay along with the cool and dry climate
with constant wind provide ideal conditions.”
It really is no coincidence that the Zeller valley
is booming right now. In addition to these natural
conditions, there also is the youthful energy
of these brothers: they make wines of cool
savouriness and a minerality that comes with
crystalline definition. We start off with a tentative
and careful evaluation of this new addition
to our guide. The third star, however, is already
within reach.
94 2019 Zell Schwarzer Herrgott
Riesling trocken
Closed on the nose with more limestone than fruit. On the
palate; very poised in style, chalky, vivid and homogeneous.
Elegant acidity, tactile mineral freshness and volume enter
into an intimate liaison. Long, generous, but above all, complete.
Brilliant. 13 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€
93 2017 Zell Klosterstück
Spätburgunder trocken
Discreet wood note, wild cherry, mineral, redcurrants, citric
notes, fragrant, très Pinot. Elegant construction, fine tannins,
lots of juiciness with a smooth mouth-feel; the juicy,
spicy core dominates the very long finish. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€
92 2018 Zellertal Spätburgunder trocken
Wild aroma of mugwort, juniper, mint, and a hint of Pinot berries,
but no specific defined fruit. Subtle new wood. Silky and
vivid on the palate with sweet fruit. A full-bodied local wine
with volume, but also with juiciness and finesse.
13 Vol.-%. cork, €
93 2019 Zell Schwarzer Herrgott
Riesling Beerenauslese
Light golden yellow. Very fine botrytis on the nose; dates,
candied lemon peel and peppery lime notes. Viscous and
creamy but also with significant substance. Ripe, concentrated
acidity, silky sweetness, delicate fruit finish with the
aroma of Sicilian cassata. Bags of potential.
9 Vol.-%. cork, €€€€

93 2019 Zell Karlspfad Weissburgunder tr.
Mineral, chalky notes on the nose; sesame, hay and just a
hint of wood. Stringent but also fine acidity, homogeneous
and long lasting. Good substance, compact structure, concentrated
peppery terroir on the finish. All components are
tightly woven. 12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €€
