Ansgar Clüsserath Riesling Vom Schiefer Trocken

"The dry Riesling “Vom Schiefer” (literally, from slate) provides an introduction to the world of steep-site Rieslings from the Middle Mosel. The grapes for this wine are sourced from three individual sites: 1) Trittenheimer Altärchen, on the left bank of the Mosel, with weathered, shale-based soils, brings forth Rieslings with aromas of citrus, grapefruit and orange peel; 2) Neumagener Rosengärtchen, located north of Trittenheim, with loamy, weathered, shale-based soils; and 3) Mülheimer Sonnenlay, situated in a side valley of the Mosel, is known for its filigree, citrus, light mineral aromas. This cuvée of three sites results in an appealing wine that is light, with a filigree slate notes. This is accompanied by fruit aromas of green apple, peach, and grapefruit." -the importer
