Villa Huesgen Riesling by the glass

The Moselle wine region may only have the third-largest vineyard area in Germany, but it enjoys the highest international prestige. The vineyards in the Moselle rise so steeply right next to the river that they absorb sunlight reflected from the water's surface into their porous slate soil, which not only allows rainwater to drain away quickly but also acts as a heat reservoir for the night. The Riesling wines of Villa Huesgen aim to be not only good, but also modern in the best sense of the word. The ultimate expression of this philosophy is their new Riesling "by the glass." A modern, uncomplicated Riesling, it offers a fresh, delicate fruitiness on the nose, reminiscent of apricot and peach, with a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is juicy with fine acidity, medium body, and a long finish.
