Ürziger Würzgarten

2008 Mosel Riesling

The Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten 2008 is an exquisite white wine that showcases the remarkable characteristics of the Mosel region, known for its steep vineyard slopes and slate soils. This Riesling presents a captivating bouquet of stone fruits, including ripe peach and apricot, alongside enticing floral notes that enhance its aromatic complexity. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience with vibrant acidity that dances gracefully, contributing to its refreshing nature. The pronounced fruit intensity is wonderfully balanced by a touch of sweetness, which amplifies the wine's overall charm. Tannins are subtle, allowing the lush fruit flavors to shine through. This wine is a splendid choice for those seeking an elegant and delicious expression of Riesling from one of Germany's finest winegrowing regions.

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).
