The mineral taste of slate in wine can be an
unforgettable pleasure. The Riesling grape is
|
|
|
difficult to please, ripens relatively late and produces
small berries with a rather small yield. Precisely this of
|
o |
|
characteristics, however, makes the Riesling grape so
well suited to the terroir offered by the Mosel, Saar and |
o |
|
Rower river valleys. The mineral character of this
terroir is exemplified by the wines of the Bernkasteler Ring
|
o |
|
wine estates, ranging from dry and off dry (feinherb)
Riesling growths to the very noble and fine dry berry selections. |
o |
|
Riesling wines can be fresh and sparkling, petillant and
elegant, or delicately fruity, with a pleasant acidity and |
o |
|
relatively low alcohol content. The Riesling wines of the
Bernkasteler Ring wine estates justifiably occupy a top |
o |
|
position on the scale of popularity of wine connoisseurs
throughout the world and have contributed considerably to the |
o |
|
renaissance of German wines.They are well suited to
accompany fine meals or to serve as solo refreshments. |
