Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt 2007

Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt 2007 Kaseler Riesling Trocken Mosel Qualitatswein is a wine we bought on our trip through the Mosel , we visited the 'cellar' where we were made so welcome and we tasted some beautiful wines, with lovely tropical fruits on nose and palate.
The winemaker, Wolfgang Mertes, showed us down into the actual cellar, harvest was due in the next few weeks and one could sense the anticipation in the air, they were anxious to get started!
This wine was a clean fresh fruity wine with apricots and soft fruits on nose and palate, a white flower perfume also was part of its makeup.
The finish was not as long as we had hoped and there was an absence of minerality, but it was a beautiful light bodied fresh and juicy wine, fruit providing the sweetness, balanced by the acidity so keeping the wine tingly!
A wine to enjoy.

Dr Wagner Saarburg 2007

Dr Wagner Saarburg 2007 ( Saarburger Kupp Riesling Spatlese) Trocken, a wine we first tasted while touring the German Mosel, it is a beautifuly crafted wine made in the Saar area of the Mosel taken  from 6 hectares of vineyards with 30 year old Riesling vines. The fermentation takes place in 1000 litre barrels and with no additional yeasts.
The pale lemon wine has prominent aromas of green fruits, apricots and definite minerality, a touch of herbal essence and lime skin. Tasting it echoes these characteristics with a fresh, clean mouth, minerality lies at every level and the layered flavours of lemon, apricot and green apple are kept fresh by the more than medium acidity, it is light bodied but is multi faceted and a wine with pedigree, great to drink now but could be kept for another 2-4 years.  Grape
