The wine region of Moselle
World benchmark for cool-climate German Riesling, on vertiginous blue and grey slate slopes. Pure, precise whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked chalky minerality ("gunflint"), low alcohol (~8-10%), taut acidity and crystalline tension. From dry Kabinett to sweet Auslese, up to luscious Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. Also Müller-Thurgau and Elbling.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
