    Josef Rosch - Leiwen on the Mosel, Germany

    • Rosch is considered one of the Blue-chip wine estates from the Mosel.  In Germany, there are only 28 estates that get the highest ranking (5 stars)
    • from Germany’s top Critic Gerhard Eichelmann. Rosch is one of the 28 and one of only eight 5-star estates in the Mosel.
    • Werner Rosch was actually a pro soccer player in his twenties, but now he burns up calories in his steep vineyards on the Mosel between Leiwen and Trittenheim. His wines show typical Mosel elegance and finesse, as well as pronounced minerality. The wines are crystal clear, crisp on the finish, and have enough acidity to preserve them comfortably for at least 20 years.

    • Leiwener Klostergarten Riesling Halbtrocken

      This wine is an example of what wonderfully balanced half-dry Riesling should be. 
      Orchard fruits of apple and pear combine with citrus on the palate.  The taste at the front and mid-palate is fruity, but the finish is dry without a hint of sweetness.  11.5% Alc. 16 grams RS/L. 7.4 grams acidity.

    • Leiwener Klostergarten Riesling Kabinett

      The Kabinett style of Riesling is what made the Mosel famous.  A classic style Kabinett should have juicy fruit flavors, light in body and alcohol, and a crisp, clean finish.  This Kabinett embodies all of these characteristics. 8.5% Alc. 50 grams  RS/L. 8.6 grams acidity

    • Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spatlese

      From the Steep slopes of the Trittenheimer Apotheke vineyard comes this full-throttle Spätlese, packing intense fresh peach and apricot flavors.  

    • Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Auslese

      This is an Auslese that has no botrytis what so ever, so what stands out in the wine is pure, clean fruit.  The texture is creamy with wonderful orchard fruits of peach, ripe golden apples and apricots on the palate.
