In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded the current estate together with his sisters and named it after their father Georg: 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben' (Wine estate of Georg Mosbacher's heirs). The curved 'M' which decorates their wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans after the end of the Second World. The winery now produces some of the finest wines in the Pfalz and all of Germany for that matter. The grapes for this wine are grown on a south and southeast-facing vineyard, 60% of it slopes up towards the edge of the forest, while 40% is on the lower slopes, on soils composed of sandstone with limestone outcrops and basalt.
750 ml Low StockThis is stunning Riesling displaying notes of white peach, lemon, lime and melon fruits with the classic acidity the wines are known for to tie it all together. It's a fairly sweet Spatlese as is evident in the 7.5% alcohol level. Try it with spicy curries, Asian dishes and turkey.
