The palate is luscious yet balanced, with gentle acidity lifting the sweetness and carrying it through a long, silky finish. Opulent and complex, it’s a classic aged Mosel Auslese.

Bright and crystalline, this dry Nahe Riesling opens with citrus blossom, lime zest and ripe stone fruit, underpinned by a subtle smoky, flinty minerality. The palate is bone-dry and precise, driven by zesty acidity, saline freshness and a fine lees-derived texture that adds depth without weight. Long, clean and focused on the finish, it’s a beautifully balanced, food-friendly Riesling with both immediate appeal and the structure to age.

The Christoffel family has been making wine in the Mosel since the 17th century. This 2007 Auslese is a luscious sweet offering ringing true to tradition. Slate, black licorice spice, and stewed persimmons are the highlight of the palate in this aging masterpiece.
