Luxembourgish: Musel).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mosel wine region is Germany's third largest in terms of production but some consider it to be the leading wine region in terms of international prestige. The region covers the valleys of the rivers Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer from near the mouth of the Mosel at Koblenz and upstream to the vicinity of Trier in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mosel is mainly famous for its white wines made from the Riesling grape, but Elbling and Müller-Thurgau also contribute to the production, among others. In the past two decades red wine production, especially from the Spätburgunder (Pinot noir), has increased in the Mosel. Because of the northerly location of the Mosel, the Riesling wines are often light, tending to lower alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit \"flowery\" rather than or in addition to \"fruity\" aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"weingut-wwe-dr-h-thanisch-erben-thanisch-estate-riesling","title":"Dr. H.

Prüm is a true master of German wine, and the steep, slate-covered slopes of the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard provide the perfect canvas for their craft. For this 'Spätlese' expression, the grapes are left on the vine later into the autumn season. This extra hang-time allows the fruit to develop incredible concentration, ripeness, and natural sweetness before they are carefully hand-harvested. The 2022 vintage is wonderfully generous and expressive. To the nose you are met with intense aromas of ripe peach, baked apple, and a touch of golden honey. On the palate, it is remarkably luscious and deeply flavoured, yet it never feels heavy or cloying. The secret lies in that signature Mosel Riesling acidity - a bright, racing freshness that cuts straight through the richness and leaves the finish feeling incredibly vibrant and clean. This style of wine is an absolute revelation when paired with food. The natural sweetness makes it the ultimate companion for spicy Sichuan dishes, rich pork belly, or a bold blue cheese. Like all great Prüm wines, it is already showing brilliantly, but it possesses the legendary structure to age gracefully in the cellar for decades if you have the patience.

Grosse Lage, designating it as one of the best in Germany which produce wines particularly expressive of their site and with exceptional ageing potential. The Abtsberg is the most famous and steepest vineyard of the estate, grown on soils composed of blue Devonian slate. The hillside runs south-east to south-west, achieving a gradient of up to 70% which requires laborious hand harvesting. The Abtsberg is located directly outside the castle Maximin Grünhaus and wines harvested from this vineyard are among the longest-lived Rieslings of the region. Grosses Gewächs is the term for the highest quality dry wines produced at a Grosse Lage (top classified) vineyard. The best grapes from the Abtsberg vineyard were carefully picked and selected by hand. As the cellar is situated minutes from the vineyards, the grapes were quickly pressed in a pneumatic press in order to retain their aromatic and fresh fruit characters. The must was then fermented with indigenous yeasts in Fuders, classic Mosel 1,000-litre oak casks made from wood sourced from the estate’s own forest by local coopers. On the nose, aromas of apricot, peach and yellow apple are complemented by notes of wet stone, wild herbs and green tea.
