Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese, Mosel

Name: Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese, Mosel
SKU: 29075
Price: 25.47 GBP

The Spätlese (late picked) designation means that the grapes get an extra week or two of hang time, which helps them develop higher ripeness levels and deeper flavours than the Kabinett wine. This wine from a truly ‘grand cru’ vineyard in the village of Erden, is a fruit-driven Riesling that combines extraordinary concentration and length with a bracing minerality. The site was rated as a ‘First Vineyard’ (Erste Lage) in the 1868 Prussian classification of the Mosel and has iron rich, red slate soils which influence the finished wine's structure, giving it more weight and power. Medium-sweet although the acidity never makes it feel too rich, the wine shows notes of both dark fruits, like blackcurrant, alongside grapefruit and lime.

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.
