The Mosel region in Germany is the source of some of my favorite riesling. Why? Because it tends to be vibrant and lively, complex and balanced.
Some Mosel rieslings are dry and some are sweet, this one is on the drier side but it still has lots of life to the fruit. Let’s get right to the notes on this one.
The nose of this wine is delightful, with floral aromas providing the high notes and mineral providing the base low notes. The palate is also delightful, offering pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, green apple and mineral flavors. It’s got a lot of zing to it to, with outstanding acidity. The mouthfeel is good, although it could have a little more texture. It finishes with lingering pineapple and granny smith apple flavors.
This wine has just what I want from a riesling. And you have to love the Tron-like font on the label.
