Erdener Treppchen

2011 Mosel Riesling

C.H. Berres Erdener Treppchen is a stunning 2011 Riesling hailing from the esteemed Mosel region, known for its steep vineyard slopes and slate soils that impart unique characteristics to its wines. This white wine exudes a vibrant straw-yellow hue, enticing the eye and hinting at its deliciously refreshing nature. On the palate, it showcases a high level of acidity, which beautifully balances the sweetness, making it extraordinarily mouthwatering and invigorating. The fruit intensity is prominent, with delightful notes of ripe peaches, zesty lime, and fragrant apricot, all harmonizing gracefully. This Riesling is off-dry, making it versatile for pairing with various dishes, from spicy Asian cuisine to creamy cheeses, making it a true food-friendly companion for any occasion. Its clean finish is further enhanced by subtle mineral undertones, reflecting the terroir of the Mosel, leaving a lasting impression that beckons another sip.

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.
