Riesling Spätlese Feinherb

2005 Mosel Riesling

The Blees Ferber Riesling Spätlese Feinherb from the Mosel region is an exquisite white wine that beautifully captures the essence of the area. This 2005 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, making it delightfully approachable and versatile. Its sweet fruit essence, highlighted by floral notes and ripe stone fruit, offers a prominent intensity that harmonizes with its refreshing acidity. The beautifully balanced sweetness makes this wine off-dry, creating a mouthwatering experience that invites another sip. The subtle texture of well-integrated acidity enhances its overall freshness while a whisper of minerality provides depth. This Riesling is a proud representation of the Mosel's terroir, exuding charm and sophistication that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes or is simply delightful on its own.

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.
