Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany
Near the Mosel River in Bernkastel-Kues we have established our winery. In 1969 local growers joined together to form the largest winegrowing group in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. The result was the creation of Moselland eG, an efficient, reliable and innovative company.

More Info
The artist and winegrower Heinz Ames paints watercolours with wine. The wine he uses is Riesling, which grows on the steep slopes of the Mosel valley. The Mosel valley is also theme of his paintings, which have developed into this unusual "window bottle" package.
Moselland is best known world-wide for maintaining remarkably high standards - not an easy task for a cooperative with more than 5,000 grower members from all areas of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine growing region. In the 20 pressing stations located throughout the region, Moselland takes in and presses about 25% of the region's harvest. The grapes are separated according to variety, location, and quality, then carefully pressed at the station before being transported to their cellars.

"A lovely, crisp German Riesling with aromas of pear, golden apple and peach. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity for Asian fare."
Wine Enthusiast, Aug/2016

"Waxy lemon rind and blossom notes accent this off-dry Riesling full of ripe, almost preserved peach flavor. Briskly textured and fresh in acidity, it's an uncomplicated, drinkable wine. Enjoy now through 2019."
BCLDB Taste Magazine, Fall 2016
"Green Apple, white peach, floral and honey aromas lead to a lush palate with slightly sweet fruit favours, refreshing acidity and a crisp, pineapple-tinged finish."
BCLDB Taste Magazine, Summer 2016
"This German Riesling has a bouquet of citrus, apricot and pear. Fresh and lively in the mouth, the sweetness is balanced by generous acidity."
