Review

The Dr Wagner winery is a thoroughly traditional Mosel producer and so whilst this 9.5% Qualitatswein offering is very much their entry level offering, it comes with a  certain refinement.  There is good balance of melon and mineral and a fine body.  But somehow it is not a wine that sings and I find it hard to love.  Even their own notes tell us everything about how it is made, but not how it tastes, and pedigree alone is not enough to win my enthusiastic endorsement here.

Makers Notes

These old vines are grown on the ancient blue slate steep slopes of the Saar valley.  The vines are trained on trellises and the grapes are hand-picked and fermented in old wooden casks.  Grown and made by hand.
