Josephshofer

2007 Mosel Riesling

The Reichsgraf Von Kesselstatt Josephshofer, a remarkable 2007 Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, dazzles with its alluring pale golden hue. This wine showcases a medium body that balances beautifully with a high acidity, giving it an invigorating and mouthwatering quality that makes it incredibly food-friendly. Its fruit intensity is prominent, featuring delightful notes of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, complemented by a hint of citrus zest that adds complexity. The off-dry character of this Riesling lends a touch of sweetness, perfectly harmonizing with the vibrant acidity, while delicate minerality reflects the unique terroir of the Mosel. With its elegant finish, this wine is a true testament to the artistry of Alsatian winemaking, inviting you to savor each sip and appreciate its intricate layers.

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.
