Von Reben Mosel Riesling 2019
Flavor Profile
German Riesling is the darling of wine professionals and sommeliers around the world. It’s available in a variety of delicious styles, with the dry and lightly sweet versions being some of the best food-pairing wines around – one reason why you’ll spot them on restaurant wine lists from New York to Tokyo.
Our customers have been thirsty for top-class, gently sweet Riesling for some time – and we’ve finally found the perfect one. It hails from the steep slopes of Germany’s famed Mosel Valley, where the slate-dominant soils and brilliant sunshine yield some of the world’s most renowned (and impressively age-worthy) examples.
And now is the perfect time to secure your taste. “The 2019 vintage is the best vintage I have ever tasted for German Riesling in my four-decade career,” raves critic James Suckling. Head winemaker of the award-winning Niersteiner Weingenossenschaft cooperative, Manuel Brixius, certainly made the most of this landmark year – and the resulting wine is absolutely fabulous.
Look for a lively streak of mineral-tinged acidity, with a lusciously sweet note and waves of aromatic apple, citrus, and peach. Sweeter-style Rieslings like Von Reben are a perfect pairing with spicy Asian meals like lamb curry or shrimp and noodles with chili sauce.
Quick note: Mosel Rieslings of this caliber usually carry a heftier price tag – act quickly to scoop up your share before it’s gone.
