Top 10 Best Riesling Wines for Under $50

Features:

The 2018 Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett is very clear and precise on the fine, bright and slatey/floral nose, which is a perfect, fluent representative of the Jugendstil Mosel. Juicy, piquant and round on the palate, this is a tightly structured yet filigreed Kabinett with a salty, mouth-watering finish. A gorgeous Kabinett that embarrasses the new wave Kabinetts from Rheinhessen that are sold for a small fortune. 8% alcohol.

The fruit for this village-designated Kabinett comes from the Apotheke Grand Cru, Trittenheim’s finest individual vineyard site. It lies on the right bank of the Mosel, opposite the village of Trittenheim. ‘Apotheke’ literally means ‘pharmacy’ but the vineyard’s name doesn’t refer to the medicinal properties of its wines. It in fact derives from a foundation established by the “Abtsberg” Abbey of Trier. With its extreme slope of up to 78%, Apotheke ranks among the top sites on the Mosel.

Almost 100 percent Riesling is grown in the Ansgar Clüsserath winery. The high-quality, white grape variety is able in a special way to optimally reproduce the mineral characteristics of the slate soil typical of the Moselle. A fruity aroma in connection with clear acidity leaves scope for the reproduction of the individual structures of the soil, which, depending on the soil formation, give the wine depth and complexity in the form of salty nuances. The individual layers of the winery differ not only in their different orientation and the degree of steep slope; Added to this are the different types of soil, which give the wines from the various individual layers sometimes body, fullness and fruit, sometimes freshness, minerality and bite.

This bottle of Riesling right here will be your best bet. Hailing from Ontario Canada, this bottle of off-dry Riesling pairs with sweet & spicy food, curries and even hawker food.

Introducing the new “off-dry” riesling, a successor to the Süssreserve Riesling. Rosewood was caught red-handed stopping the fermentation (AF = arrested fermentation) on 60% of this Riesling to leave a small balance of residual sugar on the finished wine. 6.8g per liter to be exact, this Riesling is a clear and pure expression of their vineyards. 40% of the final blend was fermented completely dry.

Leading with strong aromas of granny smith apple, Meyer lemon zest, white flower. Followed by noticeable limestone, crushed river stone and flint. On the palate the flavours match, however its bright and racy acidity leads to a mouth filling and layered texture, before finishing clean and crisp. This is a crowd pleaser that is sure to stand out. Serve chilled. Will age gracefully in bottle over the next 7-10+ years.
