Profile & Story
A balanced, low-ABV Riesling with a clean, mineral-driven profile, ripe citrus flavors, and a touch of honeyed peach. The Mosel has a great wine-growing tradition of more than 2000 years, brought here by the Romans. It is the home of Riesling and is recognized all over the world. The soil with its thin slate stones is a critical factor. Reflecting and retaining heat, the slate is essential to ripening grapes in this cool climate. Healthy grapes, gentle pressing, strict purification of musts, fermentation with selected yeasts under temperature-controlled conditions, storage in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Tasting Notes
Grapes from the Lower Mosel provide mineral notes, grapes from the Middle Mosel create a hint of spiciness, and grapes from the Upper Mosel supply fresh, peach flavors. The result is a clean, fresh flavor and a perfectly balanced taste profile that is delicious with food and perfect to share with friends.
Pairing Recommendation
Riesling is the most versatile white wine for food matching. This Riesling serves across a wide range of food companions, e.g., Mexican, Indian, and Chinese dishes, Thai cuisine, similarly hot and spicy foods. But also perfect with sushi, fish, poultry, and pork, or simply on its own.
