Mosel Weingut Von Hövel Saar Riesling Trocken 2022

The Saar Riesling Trocken from Von Hövel is the gateway to the world of great dry white wines from the Saar region. Produced by one of the historic wineries of the VDP (the elite of German viticulture), this wine perfectly embodies Maximilian von Kunow's style: crystalline purity, vibrant acidity, and a minerality that speaks directly of the slate soils.

The 2022 vintage delivered a Riesling of great balance, where the typical electric tension of the Saar is accompanied by ripe and well-defined fruit. Strictly vinified dry (Trocken), it is a wine that focuses entirely on verticality and freshness, making it an extremely versatile gastronomic companion.

Sensory Characteristics:

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with brilliant greenish reflections.

• Nose: The nose is an explosion of freshness. Notes of lime, yellow grapefruit, and green apple intertwine with hints of aromatic herbs and the typical "smoky" mineral trace of slate.

• Palate: On the palate, it is straightforward, taut, and juicy. The acidity is citrusy and refreshing, balanced by a light but persistent body. The finish is clean, savory, and immediately invites a second sip.

Why choose it: It is the perfect Riesling for those who love energetic and uncompromising white wines. Its elegance lies in its apparent simplicity, which hides masterful technical precision. Excellent as a classy aperitif or to accompany dishes that require pronounced acidity to cleanse the palate.
