Mosel
The Mosel is Riesling's most dramatic expression. Vineyards planted at near-45-degree angles on ancient blue Devonian slate capture maximum sun in one of Europe's most northerly wine regions. The resulting wines are featherweight in alcohol but enormous in mineral energy, with an electric acidity that can carry off-dry or botrytised styles for decades.
Tasting profile
Mosel Riesling: green apple, lime zest, white peach, wet slate, petrol with age — impossibly precise. Even Spätlese and Auslese levels feel weightless due to low alcohol.
Ageability
Exceptional. Auslese and above: 20–50 years.
