Dr. Fischer
Mosel, Germany
100% Riesling, 100% Estate grown, 100% Sustainably delicious
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Dr. Fischer
Riesling
Riesling from this region is all about terroir. Estate-grown in the younger parcels of two Grosse Lage vineyards: Bockstein and Saarburger, both known as top vineyards in the Mosel thanks to their exceptional terroir (steep slope, south/southwest exposure, old vines, slate soil). The two vineyards have a different color of slate which affects the characteristics of the wine: The Bockstein vineyard is made of grey slate which gives soft, round, floral character in the wine. The Saarburger vineyard is made of red slate which produces wine that is more steely and sharper.

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.

Delightful, crisp, off-dry wine, light in body yet packed with zingy grapefruit and floral flavor. A touch of natural sweetness is balanced by mouthwatering acidity, while the light alcohol ensures versatility: the wine makes a refreshing aperitif as well as an ideal partner for spicy foods.
