The Mosel Valley’s iron-rich red slate is less common than the more prolific blue slate found throughout Germany’s Middle Mosel. Red slate is found mostly in the villages of Erden, Ürzig and Kinheim.
This dry Riesling has an intense minerality that is warm and enveloping. It has floral, spicy, citrus blossom aromas and harmonious flavors with a full, expansive texture. Very expressive.
The extended lees contact allows the wine to develop a naturally harmonious balance and greater complexity.
