Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese

2010 Mosel Riesling

The Badstube Auslese Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese from the renowned Mosel region is a captivating white wine that embodies the essence of this storied vineyard. Produced from Riesling grapes, this vintage showcases a bright, pale gold color that hints at the wine's refined character. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with a high acidity that enlivens the senses, making it incredibly mouthwatering and refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruits and hints of honeyed sweetness, perfectly balanced with underlying mineral undertones reminiscent of the slate soil of Mosel. This Auslese level wine is delightfully off-dry, providing an indulgent yet approachable sweetness that lingers elegantly on the finish, leaving an enticing impression with each sip.

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.
