About Mosel
The Mosel is one of the world's most dramatic wine regions, where vineyards cling to impossibly steep slate slopes above the winding river. These challenging conditions produce Rieslings of extraordinary delicacy and precision—wines that balance sweetness with razor-sharp acidity. The best Mosel Rieslings can age for decades, developing complex petrol and honey notes. From dry (Trocken) to lusciously sweet (Trockenbeerenauslese), the Mosel offers a complete spectrum of Riesling expression.
