Mosel Riesling

The Gessinger Riesling from the Mosel region is an enchanting white wine that captures the essence of this renowned winegrowing area in Germany. With its inviting pale straw hue, the wine immediately draws you in with aromas of fresh green apple, zesty lime, and a whisper of honeysuckle. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing, lively acidity that dances gracefully with flavors of juicy peach and crisp pear, making every sip vibrant and mouthwatering. This Riesling’s bright fruit intensity is beautifully balanced by a touch of minerality, characteristic of the Mosel’s slate-rich soils. Its slightly off-dry finish exudes elegance and charm, making it exceptionally food-friendly—an ideal companion for both casual gatherings and refined culinary experiences. The Gessinger Riesling is a testament to the timeless quality of Mosel wines, offering a harmonious balance of freshness and delectable fruit notes that linger delightfully.

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.
