2015: Clüsserath: Mosel, Riesling, “Mosel Street”
A
Grapes are hand-harvested from 15-25 year old vines grown in weathered, slatey soils which lend a refined, delicate mineral flavor to the finished product. Vines here receive southeastern exposure to the sun, which, along with the climate and the soil, provides great potential for excellent Riesling. Grapes are handled very carefully after harvest and are pressed immediately after picking. Fermentation begins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using natural yeasts and lasts about 8 weeks, after which the wine remains on the lees until being bottled in mid March. A minimal amount of SO2 is added. RS: 20 g/L
