Spatlese

2007 Mosel Riesling

The Schmitt Sohne Spatlese from the Mosel region is a stunning example of what a high-quality Riesling can offer. This light-bodied white wine showcases a beautiful balance of sweetness and crisp acidity, making it remarkably refreshing and approachable. With an intense fruit profile, it delivers delightful notes of ripe peach, apricot, and a hint of floral character that dance on the palate. The wine's residual sugar adds a gentle sweetness, creating a mouthwatering finish that invites another sip. Its mild tannins underscore its elegance, while a distinctly vibrant quality enhances the overall drinking experience. This vintage from 2007 is a shining testament to the Mosel's terroir, with its ability to produce wines that are both food-friendly and enjoyable on their own. A true gem for any wine lover to explore.

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.
