This Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling from the Mosel region of Germany is juicy, with a succulent mouth feel, zippy acidity and lingering finish. Spätlese (a.k.a. late harvest) is produced with grapes that have reached a certain ripeness level that is dictated by German wine law.

Blue slate is the most typical type of slate in the Middle Mosel. Rich in potassium, it provides vital nutrients to the vines and gives the wines a pronounced mineral edge that enhances the naturally high acidity of Riesling. In addition to the heatretaining blue slate soil, the vineyards are characterized by incredibly steep slopes, a favorable position near the river and excellent drainage.

Food Pairing: It is one of the best wines you can find to pair with Thai cuisine or other spicy dishes as it does an amazing job of balancing out the heat of the spice.
