Dr. G Dry Riesling Mosel 2023 750ml

GERMANY : MOSEL

SUSTAINABLE : Riesling

LIGHT-BODIED, DRY, GUAVA, LIME ZEST, SLATE MINERALITY, NO OAK

Sourced exclusively from the steep, hand-harvested blue slate slopes of the Mosel — not the cheaper flatland sites that fill most of the region's production at this price — Dr. G is the creation of Willie Glückstern, a forty-year champion of German wine in the US market. The grapes go to Moselland for vinification in stainless steel, emerging dry at 6g/L residual sugar: crisp, tense, and bracing without any of the residual sweetness that makes ordinary German Riesling a hard sell.

The 2023 vintage was demanding — drought through midsummer, then summer rains, disease pressure, and ruthless selection at harvest — and delivered Mosel Rieslings of uncommon purity for it. This one opens with guava and passion fruit before the region's signature slate minerality takes over: tension, salinity, grip, and a clean finish that keeps going.
