Mosel Riesling Tasting Case

The Sonnenlay Zeppelin wine from Mülheim has a beautiful nose of grapefruit, lime, green apple, meadow herbs and slate stone, and the idyllic terroir of Sonnenlay presents itself on the palate with rich and mouth filling fruit aromas of pear, apple and citrus fruits. In style balanced and refreshing with elegant fruit sweetness and great length. When the airship "Graf Zeppelin" took off on its first world flight on August 15, 1929, the Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling was also on board and became the most drunk wine on all the voyages of the "Graf Zeppelin".

The Pfarrgarten is really the former garden of the rectory in Dhron. The soils are somewhat richer and juicier and are heavily mixed with loess loam. So the Pfarrgarten Riesling is also richer than the "Guts"-Riesling from the A.J. Adam winery. The nose is expressive with candied citrus fruit and flowers in the foreground. But also apple and slate nuances conquer the nose. The refreshing crisp taste is dominated by lime and green apple, embedded in a very delicate sweetness. Much fun on its own but served cold, this wine is a dream to accompany spicy chicken dishes.

Great freshness, crisp acidity, very elegant with a slight melting.
