RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Very hoppy on the nose, with jasmine and saffron notes extending on the palate, followed by a richly spiced core of peach and persimmon flavors. Hints of cream and tangerine zest emerge... Complex, invigorating, elegant and beautifully balanced...a terrific expression of the category.

93James Suckling

Very attractive aromas of limes, fresh wild herbs and slate. All nicely played, very fresh and fragrant. The palate has a very smooth delivery of fine, sweet limes and honey and white peaches to close. Neatly balanced.

92+ The Wine Advocate

...lush, salty-piquant, quite generous and sweet yet also pure and enormously fresh and salty...

91Vinous / IWC

Penetrating pungency and tangy brightness of marjoram- and sage-laced lime and white currant are delightfully counterpoised with unexpected subtle creaminess on a buoyant palate. Sweetness is quite evident...an emphatically sustained finish.

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, Kabinett

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.
