Everything about the Mosel is breathtaking: breathtakingly beautiful, breathtakingly steep and breathtakingly diversified. 9,000 hectares of vineyards hug the steep cliffs of the winegrowing region. The twisting course of the river means that vineyards can potentially look out towards all directions of the compass. Riesling itself thrives in each of the configurations of slate soil, sun exposure and elevation. As a grape variety, it is remarkably capable of transporting the essential character of each terroir into the glass. The delicate structure and extraordinary aromas of Mosel wines have been appreciated by winegrowers and connoisseurs for over 2,000 years.
