Blauschiefer

2013 Mosel Riesling

Selbach Blauschiefer is a stunning example of Riesling from the renowned Mosel region. This white wine showcases a delightful balance between its vibrant acidity and luscious fruit intensity, making it refreshingly crisp while offering notes of juicy stone fruits and zesty citrus. On the palate, the wine reveals a medium-bodied character that seamlessly unfolds into a harmonious finish, reflecting the unique slate soils of the Mosel valley. The dryness of this Riesling is perfectly executed, allowing the natural sweetness of the fruit to shine through without overwhelming the senses. With its elegant structure and expressive flavors, Selbach Blauschiefer is a delightful choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.

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.
