Q

Why are the slate soils very important for the proper ripening of the Mosel grapes?

A

The Devonian slate found in those vineyards helps to diffuse back at night to the vines the accumulated heat of the day. In the end, it mitigates diurnal shift and helps the vines to ripen.

It also offers great drainage, is inhospitable to phylloxera and results in low-pH wines.
