Event Details

The slate-rich soils and cool climate of the Mosel produce many of Germany’s best wines, with bottles commanding upwards of $4000 at recent auctions. The Riesling-based wines traditional to this region are known for their delicate weight, residual sweetness, and pronounced aromas of white peach, citrus, and stony minerality. In this class we will sample a range of these wines, from graceful Kabinetts to richer and more concentrated Ausleses and Beerenausleses, but we will also sample more “modern,” dry styles that emphasize terroir expression over grape ripeness.

About the instructor: Ewald Moseler hails from the Mosel region of Germany and is the northwest’s foremost importer of German wines.
