Riesling 2021
Trade Tools
Global / Mosel
These Riesling grapes were discovered by a husband and wife team in the famed Mosel region of Germany. Vineyard sites in Trittenheim and Piesport are steep with fine, mineral-rich slate soil and optimal exposure to sun and wind, giving the wine its distinctive, classic and world-renowned flavors. The vineyards are 100% hand-harvested to ensure top-quality grape selection. Traditional wine-making methods are observed, with individual wine-pressing techniques passed down through generations. Vinification takes place in stainless steel and oak casks over 4-6 weeks, followed by aging in tank and oak casks for 3-8 months.
Harvest Note
The 2021 harvest was the first generally cool vintage the region has seen in the last couple of years. Although the harvest did not yield a high quantity, the fruit showed complex characteristics with amazing concentration.
Tasting Note
Well balanced, with fine fruity & mineral tones and elegant acidity.
