While there are currently wines crafted in every corner of the world, the great white wines from Germany are in a word, unique. One of the most picturesque wine landscapes in Europe, the vineyards of the Mosel cling to the hillsides of the winding river below. The dramatic sloping vineyards protect the vines from extreme weather, while the famous slate soils impart incredible minerality to the wines. In fact, this "stoney" quality is so important to the wines, that when the rain washes the slate down the hill, the vineyard workers must carry the soil back up the perilous slopes to replenish the vineyards. Talk about commitment!
"This Riesling embodies the elegant and racy style of classic Mosel Riesling. The fruit comes exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. This wine pairs well with a wide variety of food from sushi to baked fish and chicken, including spicy and sweet and sour dishes." The Wine Buyer, 93 Points
