Karthäuserhof Schieferkristall Riesling 2021 Review
The historic Karthäuserhof estate, located between the Ruwer and Mosel rivers, dates back to Roman times, though the winery states its official founding year as 1335. The winery is almost exclusively focused on Riesling, and the expertise is apparent in the bottle. This Riesling opens with a delicate floral nose of jasmine and green mango. It feels light and crisp on the palate, coming in at 11 percent ABV, but finishes with a pleasant waxy texture.
