The 2020 Amlés Blue-Slate Riesling is a testament to the collaborative spirit of Amlés and the renowned expertise of winemaker Erni Loosen from the prestigious Dr. Loosen estate in Germany’s Mosel Valley. Crafted from vines rooted in the iconic blue slate soil, this Riesling encapsulates the storied heritage of a region that has nurtured world-class Riesling for more than 200 years.

In the tradition of Kabinett-style wines, the 2020 Amlés Blue-Slate Riesling leans towards a drier profile, yet it retains a delightful fruit-forward character, brimming with freshness. Each glass radiates the essence of the Mosel’s terroir, offering a clear expression of the vineyard’s pure, vibrant, and intricate mineral framework.

The wine greets the senses with a bouquet of ripe stone fruits and a whisper of apple blossom, creating an inviting prelude to the first sip. On the palate, it unfolds gracefully, presenting a dance of peach and citrus zest notes, all while maintaining a crisp, elegant structure. The hallmark blue slate minerality weaves through the flavor profile, providing a flinty edge that complements the wine’s natural vivacity.

“Sonnenuhr,” a work of art by Sharon Virts that graces the label, captures the unique essence of the vineyard’s landscape. The sundial, an emblematic feature of the Mosel cliffs, mirrors the wine’s time-honored cultivation, imbuing each bottle with a sense of place and history.

The 2020 Amlés Blue-Slate Riesling is a wine that speaks of collaboration, heritage, and the unparalleled quality of Mosel Riesling. It is a wine that is not just tasted but experienced, offering a journey through the sun-drenched cliffs of one of Germany’s most revered winegrowing regions.
