Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese

1997 Mosel Riesling

The C.H. Berres Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese from the renowned Mosel region showcases the exceptional qualities of Riesling. This vintage, crafted in 1997, presents a beautifully bright white color that glimmers in the glass. On the palate, it offers a delightful balance of vibrant acidity and a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel that creates an elegant experience. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring enticing notes of ripe peach, apricot, and a hint of honeysuckle, which are characteristic of the terroir. This wine is off-dry, allowing its residual sweetness to complement the fruity elements, while a subtle minerality enhances its complexity. With its structured profile and aging potential, this vintage is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Mosel winemakers. It is a perfect accompaniment to rich dishes or enjoyed on its own as a celebration of fine Riesling.

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).
