Clean Slate
Mosel, Germany
Clean Slate winemakers present a refreshing and fruit forward Riesling from the famous Mosel region
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Clean Slate
Riesling
This Riesling is a blend of grapes from the Lower, Middle, and Upper Mosel region. In this cool climate, successful ripening can be challenging. The grapes here benefit from soils composed of thin slate stones, which absorb heat from the sun and reflect it onto the grapes from below. Vines here also take advantage of reflected sunlight from the Mosel River to aid in ripening and the production of sugars and flavor compounds. This Riesling brings together the fresh and fruity flavors from each vineyard. The winemakers used gentle pressing and carefully selected yeasts to carry out fermentation at cool temperatures. The result? A refreshingly fruit-forward and aromatic Mosel Riesling.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, UT, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
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.
