Josephshofer Auslese

1999 Mosel Riesling

The Reichsgraf Von Kesselstatt Josephshofer Auslese 1999 is a splendid representation of Mosel’s renowned Riesling, showcasing a beautiful golden hue that hints at its rich character. This full-bodied white wine effortlessly balances a high level of acidity with an opulent fruit intensity, offering delightful notes of apricot, honey, and ripe peach. The sweetness is elegantly pronounced, making it a truly mouthwatering experience without becoming overly cloying. Comprised of carefully handpicked grapes, this Auslese displays a subtle, refined structure that enhances its pleasure, allowing the wine to shine. A true gem from the Mosel, this Riesling is perfect for special occasions or simply to savor on its own.

Germany

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
