Urziger Wurzgarten * Auslese

2007 Mosel Riesling

Alfred Merkelbach's Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese from the Mosel region is a captivating expression of Riesling that beautifully showcases the grape's potential. This white wine is elegantly light-bodied, exhibiting a harmonious balance with its bright acidity that brings freshness and vitality to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe stone fruit and luscious tropical flavors that lead to a refreshing finish. Its sweetness is well-integrated, ensuring the wine remains enjoyable without feeling cloying. The structure is subtle, with soft yet noticeable hints of minerality typical of the Mosel terroir, making it a true testament to the potential for aging that quality Rieslings possess. Indulging in this vintage is akin to experiencing the essence of its beautiful vineyard location, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

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).
