Trial Selections... MEDIUM
The MEDIUM selection consists of 12 wines from:
Kurt Hain (Mosel)
2002 Piesporter Goldtröpchen Riesling Kabinett
The Mosel wines are characterised by the slate and flint soils in which they grow.
These wines are usually very pale with a slight emerald tinge.
The northerly lattitude of the Mosel allows the grapes to produce
more acid & hence carry more fruit flavous without the wine becoming unbalanced.
Kees-Kieren (Mosel)
2002 Riesling Hochgewachs halbtrocken
2002 Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett
2002 Graacher Domprobst Kabinett halbtrocken
2002 Graacher Domprobst Kabinett
Messmer (Pfalz)
2002 Burrweiler Schlossgarten Riesling Kabinett halbtrocken
2002 Burrweiler Schlossgarten Riesling Kabinett
The Pfalz is Germanys largest wine producing region.
In the south where Weingut Messmer is situated, the soils are predominantly
chalk based giving fresher, intense wines.
Ju.H.A. Strub (Rheinhessen)
2002 Niersteiner Brückchen Riesling Kabinett
2002 Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Kabinett
2002 Niersteiner Pettenthal Riesling Kabinett
2002 Niersteiner Oelberg Riesling Kabinett
2002 Niersteiner Orbel Riesling Kabinett
The vineyards of JuHA Strub in Rheinhessen all lie in an area referred to as the "Roten Hang"
(red slope). The soil in this entire area consists of red slate, called "Rotliegenden".
The soil easily heats up und distinguishes itself by a high mineral content which provides
the wines of the "Roten Hang" with incredible depth and body - a trademark of the wines from Nierstein since the Roman times.
