Dr. G Dry Riesling Mosel 2024 750ml

GERMANY : MOSEL

Riesling

LIGHT-BODIED, DRY, APPLE BLOSSOM, WET STONE, RACY ACIDITY, NO OAK

Sourced only from the steep, hand-harvested blue slate slopes of the Mosel — unlike most of its competitors, which come from cheaper flatland fruit — Dr. G is the project of Willie Glückstern, a forty-plus-year veteran of the New York wine trade and a longtime champion of German wine. The blend is chosen every year from tank samples at Moselland, the Mosel's large cooperative, and bottled dry.

The 2024 comes in at 12% alcohol with 7 g/L residual sugar: crisp, racy and mineral, with none of the sweetness that makes ordinary German Riesling a hard sell. Importer Bowler Wine calls it "a light fresh glass of apple blossoms and pebbles with a thirst-quenching finish."
