I never import German red wine from Mosel region until this year. What changed my mind? As a wine merchant, I trusted my own instincts and of course the result of tasting the wine.
After all these years, with a little bit help from the weather going to the direction of warmer temperature in this region, better red wine is a matter of time. I was very lucky to be able to taste this vintage directly in the cellar, the Wow effect was huge and full of surprises; the wine is rich but not heavy, full body but not overloaded.
This is an premium quality from Oster family, 12 months barrique “gereift” (matured),
