Ansgar Clüsserath 'Vom Schiefer' Riesling Mosel, 2022

Ansgar Clüsserath 'Vom Schiefer' Riesling Mosel, 2022

Regular price $22.00

This is 100% dry Riesling, "Vom Schiefer", literally "from the slate" soils. It is a lovely introduction to steep vineyards sites from the Middle Mosel. The grapes are sourced from three sites: Trittenheimer Altärchen, known for Rieslings with tropical citrus flavors, Neumagener Rosengärtchen, producing richer wines, and Mülheimer Sonnenlay, tucked into a side valley and having a slightly warmer microclimate. The wine is also vinified in old barrels and sees extended lees contact. Overall this wine comes together to be rich and fruity while staying dry, and elegant as ever. It is perfumed with aromas of apple blossoms and grapefruit peel, and goes down like water. Pair it with stir-fried duck with mushrooms and broccolini, and dont ease up on the spice!

Details

From our Importer: Since its founding in 1670, Weingut Ansgar Clüsserath in Tritteheim on the Mosel has been owned and operated by the family.

Today, Eva Clüsserath-Wittmann is following in the footsteps of her father Ansgar; the two of them manage the estate together. After completing her oenological studies in Geisenheim in 2001, she worked simultaneously at the estate and for a regional branch of Germany’s VDP (Prädikat Wine Estates) before deciding to focus her energies upon the estate in Trittenheim. Like her husband, Phillip Wittmann of the eponymous estate in Westhofen/ Rheinhessen, she is a member of Germany’s new generation of growers, who are committed to traditional and ecologically sound viticultural practices as well as developing forward-thinking techniques. Both in the vineyard and the cellar she brings forth the special characteristics of the Mosel’s unique geology. Her personal style articulates itself in expressing the typicity of the estate’s slate soils and steep vineyard sites, creating wines of great finesse and elegance.
