Vom Roten Schiefer

2010 Mosel Riesling

Weingut Clemens Busch Vom Roten Schiefer is an exquisite expression of Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, showcasing the grape's extraordinary capability to thrive in this unique terroir. This 2010 vintage presents a vibrant red hue, a rarity for Riesling, which adds a layer of intrigue to the wine. On the palate, it reveals a rich and full-bodied character, balanced by invigorating acidity that sings with freshness and zest. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe stone fruits and a hint of minerality that hints at the slate-rich soils of the Mosel. The tannins are notably soft and provide a smooth structure, making this wine exceptionally enjoyable. This delightful Riesling is crafted in a dry style, allowing its flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness, and is an excellent choice for food pairings or simply to savor on its own.

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.
