May 3, 2023 - A 100% Riesling from Monchhof sourced from grapes grown around Ürzig and Erden on blue Devonian slate. 60g/L of RS, 8.5% ABV, 8g/L of acidity.
Color is pale lemon, nose is medium intense with flavors of green and yellow apples, white peach, apricot, wet pebbles, fresh grass and some hints of honey.
Palate has a medium body and medium+ flavor intensity with zippy acidity and very well entangled minerality along with notes of yellow fruits, honeysuckle and a touch of wool-y spliffs. Finish is medium in length with lingering minerality.
A pretty basic Spatlese, quite youthful and I'd reckon a bit "basic," but it's still a good example of a more mineral-driven Mosel. I don't see this having an amazing ageing potential, so I'd say drink within the next 10 years with some Goan Fish Curry to let that acidity and minerality do its magic! -

February 14, 2023 - Aromas of petroleum, honey, and apricot. The palate was the same with marmalade and citrus. Medium minus body with medium acidity and finish. Fantastic with cookies, Superbowl treats :)
