In fact, these wines have much greater complexity and nuances than anything that Chardonnay, for example, can offer and it was only 25 years ago that the top Mosel wines were achieving auction prices that the prestigious white Burgundies could not begin to reach - how times change. However, the export of inferior wines damaged the perception of German wine so badly that sales plummeted.

The grape has a depth of fruit, which leaves a lingering presence on the palate even though the alcohol level is unusually low, especially by New World standards. It is this wonderful balance of fruit, acidity, sugar and the lower levels of alcohol which allow all the expressive flavours to shine through. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_drink_fbb5b570-decc-4e04-802d-57d23e1aa7cf.jpg?113\" alt=\"Drink\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Drink Now\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_food.gif?113\" alt=\"Foods\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Aperitif\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_dryness.gif?113\" alt=\"Dryness\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Medium\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_body.gif?113\" alt=\"Body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Light Bodied\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_colour.gif?113\" alt=\"Colour\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Pale Gold\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_grapes.gif?113\" alt=\"Grapes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Mosel\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_region.gif?113\" alt=\"Region\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Mosel, Germany\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_producer.gif?113\" alt=\"Producer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Romerhof Weinkellerei\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_vintage.gif?113\" alt=\"Vintage\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 2018\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/sulphites_0ab734f9-50cc-46cc-a01a-27564467f9c2.jpg?113\" alt=\"Sulphites\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-02-05T12:24:57+00:00","created_at":"2019-02-05T12:24:57+00:00","vendor":"Christopher Piper Wines","type":"Food, Beverages \u0026 Tobacco \u003e Beverages","tags":["Digital Goods VAT Tax","Mosel-Saar-Ruwer - Germany (White Wine)"],"price":865,"price_min":865,"price_max":865,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":19614927323224,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Mosel Riesling 2018","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":865,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/Mosel-Riesling-2018.jpg?v=1605268280"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/Mosel-Riesling-2018.jpg?v=1605268280","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":8134199509080,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":680,"width":680,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/Mosel-Riesling-2018.jpg?v=1605268280"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":680,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/Mosel-Riesling-2018.jpg?v=1605268280","width":680}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eRounded medium limefresh grapey flavours with a hint of honey, a mineral undertone and delicately balanced acidity.
