My favorite recent find is this beautiful Riesling, sourced from the Urziger Würzgarten and Erdener Treppchen vineyards on the steep slopes of the Mosel. It shows Riesling’s fresh tropical side in pleasantly dry style, with a fine mousse and an extended finish of apple, papaya and stone minerality. It might have you wondering why Chardonnay and Pinot Noir took over the world of sparkling wine.
