Monchhof 2021 Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese. Mosel Germany

Monchhof makes wine in the 12th century cellar of one of the most iconic Belle Epoch winery facades in the entire Mosel valley. Their holdings are mainly in the imposing Ürzig Würzgarten vineyard but they also have holdings in nearby Erden among the prestigious vines of the Prälat vineyard. Each vintage Monchhof makes a Riesling Auslese from that vineyard. The 2021 is showing great right now. Imagine cutting into a fresh apple, biting into its juicy, crisp fruit. That is what you get here. Floral, sweet, and finishing with a lime-like tang. What's not to like? The wine inside is always a pleasure to drink after a couple years in the bottle.
