NIK WEIS ST URBANS HOF MOSEL DRY RIESLING 750ML

Type: White wine (Dry Riesling)

Region: Mosel, Germany — a renowned cool‑climate Riesling area known for elegant, terroir‑driven wines with bright acidity and minerality

Grape: 100% Riesling

Style: Dry (Trocken) — most German Rieslings lean from bone‑dry (trocken) to off‑dry, and this one is crafted to be crisp and refreshing

ABV: Typically ~11.5–12%

Profile:

This wine showcases the classic Mosel Riesling character — vibrant acidity, luminous fruit, and pronounced minerality from slate soils. Mosel Rieslings often reflect flinty or slate‑driven notes because of the steep, slate‑rich vineyard sites along the Mosel river.

Aroma (Nose):

Fresh citrus (lemon peel, lime), orchard fruit (green apple, white peach), and light floral tones. A subtle wet‑stone minerality is often present and adds a distinctive regional signature.

Taste (Palate):

1. Bright, crisp acidity that lifts the wine
2. Flavors of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), stone fruit (peach, apricot), and sometimes honeydew melon
3. A steady mineral thread — slate, wet stone, or chalk — gives texture and balance

Finish:

Clean, dry, and refreshing with lingering citrus and mineral notes.

Overall Profile:

This dry Riesling is light‑ to medium‑bodied, vibrant, and refined, emphasizing freshness and purity of fruit. Its crisp acidity and mineral backbone make it a quintessential example of Mosel dry Riesling — energetic and food‑friendly.

Food Pairing:

Pairs exceptionally well with seafood (oysters, grilled shrimp), sushi, light poultry, salads, and dishes with citrus or herbal accents. The acidity also complements mildly spicy Asian cuisine.
