What is your favourite German Riesling??

Question

I am extremely fond of Rieslings from the Mosel Saar Ruwer Region, particularly Bernkasteler Badstube. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

If you can find find it, try a Serriger Vogelsang. If I remember correctly, it comes from a 4 acre vineyard that is a State Domaine label. That means it isn't/wasn't a privately held vineyard. The term Serriger means from Serriger, which has about 250 acres of vineyard. Vogelsang means robin/bird song. I haven't seen one of these for a long time, but they only produce in the best of years as they are one of the northern most areas. It is a Riesling that can range from Kabinett (dry) to Auslese (late picked) which would have more residual sugar. Good luck and happy hunting. German wines were a passion of mine at one time.

Answer 2

Mosel Saar Ruwer is known for producing top quality rieslings, so your best bet will be to try other wines from the same area:
Dr. Loosen, Vollenweider, J.J. Prum, Fritz Haag, Grans-Fassian

Answer 3

Reuscher-Haart 2005. It's got an amazingly sweet taste at first, but then has a citrusy finish. As it warms up, the taste mellows and is almost addicitve!

Answer 4

Theres a great one from Bad Kreuznach, its in the Naha river region.

Answer 5

You should try the Schmitt-Sohn brand of wines. I used to like them, and all beginning wine drinkers seem to enjoy them a lot. Now they seem a bit sweet to my taste. They are reasonably priced, and stand out at the store given their blue bottles.

Answer 6

I like Piesporter Michelsburg (not sure if the spelling is correct, but it's crisp and tasty)

Answer 7

I like Piesporter-- crisp, light, and sweet.

Answer 8

none--yuck

Answer 9
