We wine trade folk love Riesling, but no on else seems to. Still, it&#8217;s MY blog and so I get to decide what appears here, OK?<\/p>\n<p>This is a really lovely dry German Riesling. And it&#8217;s not expensive. Sometimes dry Riesling can be a little austere; this one has the generosity of fruit to keep it balanced without sugar. And the &#8216;red slate&#8217; refers to the soil, I&#8217;m guessing, that these grapes were grown in. It comes from\u00a0vineyards in Erden and Urzig, and is fermented in large oak casks by indigenous yeasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Loosen Red Slate Riesling Dry 2011 Mosel, Germany<br \/>\n<\/strong> 12.5% alcohol. Lively, fresh, sweetly fruited nose with lychee, grapes and lemons. The palate has some melony richness, as well as nice open lemony fruit and a dry, slightly pithy finish. Dry but fruity; not heavy, and very drinkable. 90\/100 (\u00a310 Corks Out, Weavers)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m giving away the fact that I&#8217;m a wine trade person (of sorts, do journalists count as wine trade?) by pimping another Riesling.
