"By the Glass" Riesling Magnum

A Riesling that embodies everything that makes the Moselle region so special – and seems even more relaxed in the magnum bottle. Villa Huesgen's "By the Glass" is the uncomplicated introduction to the Huesgen range: approachable, fresh, with genuine terroir in every glass.

The Villa Huesgen winery is one of the most traditional estates on the Middle Moselle. The family has been rooted in Traben-Trarbach for generations and relies on slate-dominated vineyards – this is also reflected in the simplest wines in their range.

In the glass, the Riesling shines a bright yellow with green reflections. The nose reveals ripe apricot and lemon zest, along with star fruit and a hint of white blossom – and beneath it all, that typical, almost smoky slate minerality that distinguishes Mosel Riesling from Riesling from other regions. On the palate, crisp acidity, delicate fruit, and clear minerality. Not a heavy wine – but one with length and drive, which still feels fresh even after the third glass.
