Good to know
Mosel Rieslings thrive on blue slate soils along the Mosel River, fostering lean, precise wines with laser-focused fruit and stone-like minerality. "Vertikal" nods to the region's famously steep, vertical vineyards, which challenge growers but yield exceptional quality.

Tasting notes

  • Nose: Bright citrus zest, green apple, and wet stone minerality with floral hints of white peach.
  • Palate: Zingy lime and grapefruit lead, balanced by slate-driven acidity and subtle herbal notes; medium body with racy freshness.
  • Finish: Clean and lingering, with citrus peel and mineral echo.

Notable details

  • Production: Estate-grown on slate terraces, gently pressed for purity.
  • Lineage: Rooted in Mosel's 2,000-year winemaking tradition.
  • Comparison: Echoes the steely precision of top Kabinetts from producers like Prüm or Selbach-Oster.
  • Availability: Widely available, consistent across vintages.

Serving suggestions
Chilled to 45–50°F, neat or with a splash of water to open aromas. Pairs with shellfish, goat cheese, or Asian-spiced dishes.
