Schmitges Riesling dry 1.0L

A Riesling for everyday use that offers more than its price suggests: fresh, uncomplicated, with the typical Mosel character in the glass.

For generations, the Schmitges winery has cultivated vineyards along the Middle Moselle around Erden and Traben-Trarbach – one of the classic Riesling regions, where slate soils and cool nights give the wine its characteristic acidity. Their entry-level Riesling demonstrates the region's capabilities, even in the more accessible segment.

Citrus peel and green apple dominate in the glass, with a light hint of white peach. The acidity is lively but without any harshness – a juicy note that keeps the mouth fresh. The finish is pleasantly short and clean, without any lingering aftertaste. Its moderate alcohol content makes it a wine that can be enjoyed easily at lunchtime or in the evening.
