Piesporter Treppchen

2008 Mosel Riesling

The Weingut Joh Haart Piesporter Treppchen is a stunning white Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, and its 2008 vintage exemplifies the elegance and finesse of this varietal. With a light body, this wine showcases a delightful balance of acidity that is both refreshing and invigorating. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious flavors of ripe stone fruit, particularly apricot and peach, complemented by hints of citrus that dance on the palate. Additionally, the wine displays a subtle sweetness, making it off-dry and enhancing its charming profile. Enjoying this Riesling is a true testament to the Mosel's ability to produce exceptional wines with intricate layers, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or simply savoring on its own.

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.
