Introduction
Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben’s Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese is a striking example of Mosel’s world-class Rieslings. This wine, from the steep, red-slate vineyards of Ürziger Würzgarten, showcases the region’s signature balance of fruit, minerality, and vibrant acidity.
Character Description
Golden in hue, this Spätlese bursts with aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus zest, complemented by delicate floral notes and a touch of honey. The palate is rich yet fresh, featuring juicy tropical fruit, crisp green apple, and a lively minerality. A precise balance of sweetness and acidity leads to a long, refreshing finish.
Perfect Pairings
This Riesling pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, and creamy cheeses. Its natural sweetness and bright acidity make it an excellent match for aromatic dishes, roasted duck, or fruit-based desserts. It is also delightful as an aperitif.
