From the bottle:

The thin slate stones of our vineyards in the Mosel River Valley are a critical factor in crafting a Riesling of exquisite balance. So precious are these stones that those which slip into the river are carefully carried back up the treacherously steep vineyard slopes and returned to place. Reflecting and retaining heat, the slate is essential to ripening grapes in this cool climate, developing the wine’s fresh peach, crisp lime, and subtle mineral flavors.

10.5% Alcohol

The 2019 Clean Slate Riesling begins with quite an attractive aroma of lemon, honeysuckle and peach along with hints of petrol and a stony minerality.

Tasting the wine reveals that just like the name suggests, it’s certainly clean. Delightfully juicy and lightly sweet with a bright acidity, this is tasty and super easy to drink. It features similar flavors to the nose with some added tropical fruit in the mouth.

It ends with a crisp, lip-smacking finish that lingers for quite awhile.
