About this wine
Moselland Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese is a distinguished wine sourced from one of Germany's most legendary and smallest vineyards, the Bernkasteler Doctor. This site is renowned for its steep, slate-rich slopes that impart a unique mineral complexity to the Riesling grapes. As a Spätlese, the wine offers a perfect balance between natural residual sweetness and vibrant, racy acidity. On the palate, it reveals layers of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, complemented by delicate floral notes and a distinct slate-driven finish.
A classic German Riesling that perfectly demonstrates the harmony between sweetness and acidity—an ideal entry into Mosel wines.
