Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese

2015 Mosel Riesling

The Selbach Oster Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese from the 2015 vintage is a stunning expression of the Mosel region, showcasing the exceptional qualities of the Riesling varietal. This white wine offers a prominent sweetness balanced by high acidity, creating a lively and refreshing mouthfeel that tantalizes the palate. Its fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring delightful notes of ripe stone fruit, such as apricot and peach, alongside hints of honey and floral undertones. The mid-palate reveals a subtle complexity, enhanced by a pleasing minerality that reflects the unique terroir of the Mosel. As a well-structured Auslese, this wine is delightfully off-dry, inviting enjoyment on its own or as a pairing with Asian cuisine or creamy desserts. With its harmonious profile and elegant finish, it is a true gem for any wine lover.

Mosel

When it comes to quality Riesling, few places can rival Germany's Mosel region. This sheer-sided valley in Germany parallels the river of the same name and is home to some of the world's steepest vineyards. Riesling grown here is prized throughout the world for its slight sweetness, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and aromatic floral perfume. Notes of green fruit and Meyer lemon add to the pleasant tang, with mineral touches of wet slate, beeswax and—in some aged examples—even petroleum too. It is all thanks to Mosel's very cool climate. Temperatures in the summer often don't even rise above 65 degrees. This allows for a long growing season, concentrating flavors and creating beautiful acidity.
