Von Der Leyen Riesling (75cl, 8.5%)

Von Der Leyen Riesling is an off-dry German Riesling from the Nahe region, bottled at 8.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced by Moselland, a cooperative winery founded in 1968 and headquartered in Bernkastel-Kues. Individual sets are vinified separately in small stainless-steel tanks under strict temperature control using selected yeast strains. The Nahe region is notable for Riesling selectivity, with the grape accounting for only about 25% of total plantings. The aroma shows green apple, pear, citrus, wildflower, herb aromatics, minerality and crushed stone. The palate is crisp and lithe, with tangerine, ripe stone fruit, juicy peach, citrus zest and honey-like sweetness, balanced by brisk acidity. The finish has a cutting green-plum note and smoky minerality.
