RATINGS

93James Suckling

...juicy and fresh with an astonishing amount of depth... The berry, herb and tart peach character extends right to the end of the long finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Succulent, modestly ripe honeydew melon is mingled with tart-edged...lusciously juicy, silken-textured palate that hauntingly reprises the nose of honeysuckle, peony and lily-of-the-valley...boasts a sense of transparency to stony and tinglingly spicy nuances as well as alluring inner-mouth florality... The finish is long and buoyant.

92Wine Enthusiast

...savory, subdued apple and nut tones on the nose belie the intensity of fruit, mineral and earth notes that collide on the palate... Green apple and lime flavors pierce the midpalate, catapulted by struck slate mineral notes and acidity.

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

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.
