Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese

A Riesling Spätlese from the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard, whose red volcanic soil sets it apart from the Mosel's usual slate. Weingut Alfred Merkelbach is a small family estate in Ürzig on the Mosel. Spätlese means late-picked, riper grapes, usually with some sweetness.

Mosel Riesling grows on steep slate slopes above the river, giving light, aromatic wines with high acidity. Serve at 8–10°C with fish, pork and spicy Asian dishes.
