2023 Max Kilburg 'Vertigo' Mosel Riesling Feinherb

Savor the radiant zest of Max Kilburg Vertigo Mosel Riesling Feinherb, a captivating white from Germany’s iconic Mosel region. Born from a collaboration between winemaker Max Kilburg and importer vom Boden, this Riesling is sourced from organic vineyards around Wintrich, including select barrels from Kilburg’s historic Geierslay cellar. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, it shines with a pale gold hue. Bursting with green apple and honeysuckle, it’s perfect for spicy cuisine or relaxed gatherings. This off-dry, high-acid gem captures Mosel’s slate-rich terroir with a crisp, uplifting finish.

Nose: A lively bouquet unfolds with green apple, ripe apricot, and lime zest, accented by honeysuckle and a hint of crushed slate. It’s vibrant and alluring.

Palate: Light and refreshing, the palate sparkles with juicy citrus, white peach, and tart pear. Zesty acidity and a touch of residual sugar create a harmonious, lively texture. Effortlessly bright.

Finish: Lemony freshness and a mineral, slate-driven edge. It’s invigorating, urging another sip with dynamic charm.

This Riesling is a versatile star. Pair it with spicy Szechuan stir-fry or mango-glazed shrimp for a bold match. It shines with smoked salmon or creamy brie. For a casual vibe, try it with pad thai or salted pretzels. Its vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness elevate spicy, savory, or tangy dishes.
