The picturesque Mosel river valley is one of the world’s great wine treasures. Many Mosel wines flirt with perfection, but the region’s true virtue is that nearly all its vineyards will produce distinctive, delicious Riesling if tended with care. The climate here is cold for wine grapes, but the Mosel has a few tricks that turn this liability into an asset: steep slopes, slate stone soils, and the river itself. Together these factors maximize the long, sunny growing season and provide just enough heat to slowly ripen grapes and develop Mosel Riesling’s unique character with stunning clarity. Karl Josef is produced by Moselland, a grower’s cooperative famous for producing premium quality wines at competitive prices.

Tart, cutting white grapefruit and green plum flavors are accented by bramble in this easygoing, light-bodied Riesling. It's delicately sweet and finishes briskly. Drink now
