Introduction:
The 2023 Weingut Loersch Riesling Glimmerschiefer Feinherb is a beautifully balanced off-dry Riesling from the Mosel, offering vibrant acidity, delicate sweetness, and striking minerality. Sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards, this wine captures the purity and elegance that define classic Mosel Rieslings.

Terrior:
The vineyards are planted on Glimmerschiefer (mica slate) soils, which enhance the wine’s signature minerality and precision. The steep slopes of the Mosel ensure excellent sun exposure, allowing for slow, even ripening. The cool climate preserves the grape’s natural acidity, creating a Riesling that is both lively and complex.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with shimmering green highlights, reflecting freshness and youth.

Nose:
Aromatic and expressive, with notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus zest, complemented by delicate floral hints of jasmine and honeysuckle. A touch of wet slate minerality adds depth and character.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a lively, off-dry (Feinherb) style. Flavors of ripe pear, apricot, and lime are balanced by crisp acidity and a fine, stony minerality. The subtle sweetness enhances the fruitiness without overpowering the wine’s refreshing nature.

Finish:
Long and clean, with lingering citrus, a whisper of honey, and a distinct mineral edge.

Overall Impression:
A wonderfully vibrant and well-balanced Riesling that showcases Mosel’s terroir-driven elegance. The interplay of sweetness, acidity, and minerality makes this wine highly versatile—perfect for pairing with spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, fresh salads, or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed young but can develop additional complexity over the next 5–8 years.
