Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett, Mosel

Name: Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett, Mosel
SKU: 29073

The Erdener Treppchen vineyard is so steep that long ago, stone steps (Treppchen translates as little stairs) were built into the hillside to enable workers to reach the vines. This site was rated as a ‘First Vineyard’ (Erste Lage) in the 1868 Prussian classification of the Mosel, a reputation it has kept over the last 150 years. The iron rich, red slate soils provide the elements for a wine with a muscular structure and bracing minerally complexity. Naturally light in alcohol (about 8% ABV) with notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and lime, it has a weighty mouth-feel and positive acidity that keeps its medium-dry finish balanced.

Refreshing, racy, medium-sweet wines

Sweetish, racy whites are good with some semi-soft, pungent cheeses.
Refreshing medium-sweet wines will work really well with a surprisingly wide range of seafood and fish dishes.
This style of wine also works well with light Asian dishes with sweet ingredients such as palm sugar.
Great with the dessert course, there is little to beat them paired with desserts based on fresh fruits, or that are light and delicate, just as long as the wine is at least as sweet as the dessert.
