Schiefer Off Dry

2011 Mosel Riesling

Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium Schiefer Off Dry is a delightful Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, known for its steep vineyards and slate-soil terroir that impart unique characteristics to the wines. This 2011 vintage showcases a beautiful pale golden hue, hinting at the freshness and vivacity within. Offering a balanced profile, it presents a medium body and a refreshing acidity that perfectly underscores its off-dry nature, making it a food-friendly choice alongside various dishes. The aroma is enticingly fragrant, featuring notes of ripe stone fruit and green apple, while the palate reveals a vibrant fruit intensity complemented by a subtle minerality typical of the Mosel wines. It's approachable yet complex, with a delicate finish that lingers pleasantly, satisfying both casual wine enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs alike.

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).
