Terroir/Region: Moselland’s winery is nestled between the Hunsrück and Eifel Hills by the Mosel River in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany. The steep slopes of this region have a long history of viticulture, with vines growing there since the Roman era. The slate in the soil mixed with the warmth and rainfall in the valley create a distinctive taste profile for this Riesling.
Producer: Moselland is one of the world’s largest Riesling producers known for its high-quality wines with unique flavour profiles. Its passion for wine started in 1969 with the merger of regional cooperatives to form Moselland. Winegrowers and winemakers work together year-round to guarantee that from grape to bottle, everything is from one source that meets the high-quality standards it sets.
