Feinherb

2009 Mosel Riesling

Spater Veit Feinherb, a delightful Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, captivates with its vibrant, shimmering white color. This 2009 vintage exemplifies the unique characteristics of Mosel wines, showcasing a refreshing balance of fruitiness and liveliness. The body is medium, offering a pleasant mouthfeel that complements its bright acidity, which dances playfully on the palate. The fruit intensity of this wine is prominent, bursting with flavors of ripe peaches and crisp apples, enhanced by a touch of minerality typical of the Mosel terroir. The sweetness is subtly present, yet it remains delightfully on the drier side, making it a perfect companion for various dishes or simply to be enjoyed on its own. This wine embodies the essence of easygoing elegance, inviting you to savor each 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.
