RATINGS

94James Suckling

Enormous herbal and spicy nose. At once rich and delicate, the considerable power of this wine is underplayed, all the herbs and spices surging back in the complex and intense finish.

93Vinous / IWC

Zesty grapefruit and lime accented with crushed stone and peat-like smokiness...delivers an especially glossy texture and pithy piquancy of citrus seed and peach kernel, mustard seed and raw hazelnut. The finish displays concentrated extract-sweetness, exceptional depth of flavor, and invigorating, shimmering interaction of fruit with crystalline stony minerality.

92+ The Wine Advocate

...very pure, intense and deep on the nose where crushed stones and very nice freshness are displayed. The wine is intense and fruity on the palate, lovely juicy and reveals very good length...

18.5Jancis Robinson

A zesty fragrance of grapefruit and lemon... On the palate the citrus fruit takes on a delightfully sweet expression, which is perfectly balanced by animating acidity and rich texture. Accents of fresh kiwi fruit and orange peel serve only to heighten the sensory pleasure and complete a successful combination of generosity and vibrancy.

REGION

Germany, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer is Germany’s most prestigious wine region and it is comprised of the vineyards surrounding the Mosel River and its tributaries, the Saar and Ruwer. This region is the northernmost of Germany’s primary viticultural areas, located on the western edge of Germany just above the northeast corner of France. Internationally Mosel Rieslings are considered among the finest white wines in the world. In Germany and elsewhere, the region’s name is often shortened simply to Mosel, and in fact since 2007 Mosel has been the formal name of the region for viticultural purposes. The references to Saar and Ruwer were dropped for ease of marketing. The distinctively crisp, mineral tasting, acidic Rieslings produced in Mosel are attributed partly to the region’s slate soils and extremely vertiginous vineyards. Many vineyards are on 60 to 80 percent cent inclines along the three rivers. Riesling grapes represent more than half of all the grapes grown in Mosel, followed by Muller-Thurgau, a white wine grape related to Riesling, and Elbling, an indigenous white wine grape often used for sparkling wines.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
