Rich, round whites with tender mouth and moderate acidity, featuring aromas of ripe yellow fruits, white flowers, subtle honey, fresh almond and brioche notes. Often blended with Pinot Blanc in Alsace (cuvées labelled "Pinot Blanc" often contain a good proportion) and a pillar of Crémant d'Alsace. Also in French and Luxembourgish Moselle, Côtes-de-Toul and Baden. Lorraine grape, a Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc cross, half-sibling of Chardonnay.
More informations about the region of Mosel
Roman city of Trier, historic capital of the Mosel vineyards at the confluence of the Saar and Ruwer, blue and red slate soils on vertiginous slopes. Exclusive Riesling (≥75%) is the flagship white: dry to luscious, finely taut with intense notes of green apple, citrus, white peach, flowers and a slate-mineral saline touch, fine acidity and exceptional ageing potential. Light élevage preserving purity. Bischöfliche Weingüter is the benchmark estate.
