RATINGS

96James Suckling

...masterpiece of floral finesse! Lovely, mandarin note at the long, delicate and just off-dry finish.

95-96The Wine Advocate

...bright and coolish, very delicate and filigreed bouquet of herbal/floral aromas intertwined with bright... On the palate, this is a round, charming, highly finessed and very elegant Spätlese with the lovely fruit and juiciness of the JSU and its unrivaled finesse. The weightless finish is salty-piquant, precise and highly stimulating.

95Wine Enthusiast

Pristine gooseberry and white grapefruit introduce this pure-fruited spätlese. While delicate in frame, it's a powerfully concentrated, penetrating semisweet wine that balances brilliant lemon, lime and white peach against a dazzling mineral backbone.

94Wine Spectator

Compelling and complex, this version is marked by its scintillating acidity and slate underpinning. Light on its feet yet intense, with peach, apricot and lime fruit that shows a saline accent and a mineral finish.

18+ Jancis Robinson

Firm and fresh on the nose. Really confident and luscious with a light ginger note, cantaloupe-melon flavour and masses of personality. So, so juicy and flirtatious. Pure clean mouthwash on the end.

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, Spätlese

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.
