2018 Mosel Red Blend

This 2018 vintage showcases a deep ruby color that invites you to explore its intricate aromas. On the palate, the wine presents a medium-plus body that is rich and velvety, with a delightful balance of high acidity that adds brightness and freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering layers of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and plums, all beautifully intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth to the wine without overwhelming the fruit. As a dry red blend, Trossen Purpur Purus is an exceptional choice for those seeking a wine that excites the senses and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes.

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.
