DESCRIPTION

The Mosel River winds its way northeast from the Vosges mountains of France until it joins Germany’s Rhine. Above this twisting waterway is a magnificent patchwork of vineyards and ancient castles that cling to steep, verdant hillsides. To be qualified as “steep slopes,” 100% of the fruit must come from classified vineyards which have an incline of at least 30%. In this area of Mosel, the average incline of vineyards is 45%.

The grapes are picked from vines grown in predominantly slate soils on steep slopes throughout the Mosel Saar Ruwer valleys. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, resulting in a crisp, off-dry style Riesling.

TASTING NOTES

This wine has fragrant aromas of white peach, nectarine, and Bosc pear, backed by pastoral scents of hay or straw. On the palate, flavors of yellow apple, lemon-lime, and mouth-watering minerality emerge. The wine has a touch of sweetness backed by refreshing acidity.
