More info

With an emphasis on bringing out the aromas of the variety, Mosaik is vinified in large centenary foudres with spontaneous fermentations and is a delicate, hedonistic expression of a dry Riesling. On the nose, it bursts with juicy citrus, night-flower aromas and the varietal's classic mineral signature. The lemony fruit on the palate and the minerality give it a relatively austere structure that opens up with ageing, giving it more melodic elements, harmony and a sense of balance. The wine is sourced from partner vineyards in the region on a variety of available terroirs, the cultivation of which, unlike the estate's own vines, is conventional.
