| Riesling | Dr. Loosen Riesling - Spatlese Erdener Treppchen | | | Another gorgeous wine but with brighter acidity and more muscular body. The Erdener Treppchen vineyard has stone steps lining the hillsides because it's so steep (hence the name, which means 'little staircase of Erden'). This wine is one to age. |
| Riesling | Dr. Loosen Riesling - Spatlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr | | | Loosen (pronounced lowzen), ranks among the best in all of Germany. This off-dry wine hits all the right notes with intense peach and green apple notes, creamy texture and loads of minerality. |
| Riesling | Fritz Haag Riesling - Kabinett Brauenberger Juffer-Sonnenhur | | | When you sip a Fritz Haag wine, your mouth goes on overload. Vibrant, intense, fruity and fresh all come to mind at the same time. The kabinett is delicate and dry with aromas of lime and peach with a dash of spice. |
| Riesling | Fritz Haag Riesling - Spatlese Brauenberger Juffer-Sonnenhur | | | Made with grapes from the same vineyard as the kabinett -- just picked when riper -- this stunning wine is succulent, medium-full and deliciously off-dry. Think of biting into a perfectly ripe cantaloupe. Drink now or cellar long-term. |
| Riesling | Selbach-Oster Riesling - Kabinett | | | If you aren't familiar with Mosel riesling start here. Crisp, aromatic, dry and delicate, Selbach-Oster's kabinett seems to float on air. The 2001 vintage is one of the best in recent memory, so grab it now. |
| Riesling | Selbach-Oster Riesling - Kabinett Zeltinger Schlossberg | | | Kabinett kicked up a notch. Made with grapes from the Schlossberg vineyard on the hillsides outside the village of Zeltingen, this wine's steely acidity, orange blossom and mineral aromas, and understated intensity are impressive and alluring. |
| Riesling | von Schubert Maximin Grunhauser Abtsberg Riesling - Spatlese | | | The Abtsberg vineyard is located next to the Herrenberg vineyard but produces wines with more plushness, spiciness and ripe fruit character. Medium-full with a crisp, fresh character and juicy melon fruit flavors. Drink now or age long-term. |
| Riesling | von Schubert Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling - Kabinett | | | The Herrenberg vineyard produces wines with vibrancy and minerality and this light-bodied beauty is no exception. von Schubert calls this his 'no regret wine. You can drink, enjoy, relax and not feel overwhelmed with oak and alcohol.' |
| Riesling | Willi Schaefer Riesling - Kabinett Graacher Himmelreich | | | Another kabinett style from a different vineyard, this wine sports less minerality and more fruit than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. It's as refreshing as biting into a crisp green apple. |
| Riesling | Willi Schaefer Riesling - Kabinett Wehlener Sonnenuhr | | | It sounds impossible, but Willi Schaefer's wines are so impeccably balanced that they manage to pair a round texture with laser-like acidity. Light-bodied and fresh, this dry white is laden with lime and nectarine notes. |
