Description
What kind of wine it is
Georg Mosbacher Riesling Trocken is an organic white wine that precisely expresses the characteristics of its terroir. Produced in Germany, in the Pfalz region, it is made exclusively from Riesling grapes cultivated by the Georg Mosbacher winery. In the glass, it appears straw yellow with delicate greenish highlights. On the nose, it develops complex aromas of yellow peach, green apple and citrus fruits, enriched by ethereal accents, floral nuances and a distinct hint of flint. On the palate, it reveals a juicy freshness and an elegantly medium-bodied structure, supported by a pronounced minerality that harmoniously leads to a clean and very pleasant finish.
Where it comes from
The roots of this white wine lie in the Pfalz, specifically in the vineyards surrounding the village of Forst. The wine is created from a careful blend of vineyards, an agronomic choice that weaves together the various facets of the area without compromising varietal identity and precision. The vines thrive on loamy, sandy and gravelly soils, a geological composition essential for imparting a marked savoury character to the grapes. These particular soil and climate conditions enhance the purity of the grape's aromas, fostering a deep harmony between the light notes of tropical fruit and the taste tension that defines the wine's character.
How it is produced
Production follows strict organic and sustainable practices. The winemaking process involves cold fermentation carried out in stainless steel tanks, a technique aimed at preserving the clarity of the aromas. Ageing takes place without any time in barrels, thus maintaining a lean, youthful and distinctly dry organoleptic profile. The wine is ideal as an aperitif and pairs harmoniously with shellfish, fish soups, mushroom risottos and light white meats.
History and Curiosities
The Georg Mosbacher Riesling Trocken encapsulates over two hundred years of history from the family of winemakers in Forst, in the Palatinate (Pfalz). This elegant German white is an organic wine of quality (QbA) that faithfully expresses its own terroir. Cold fermentation in steel preserves its pronounced freshness and pure minerality, offering a youthful and fruity sip, ideal for those seeking an authentic tasting experience.

In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded the current estate together with his sisters and named it after their father Georg: 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben' (Wine estate of Georg Mosbacher's heirs). The curved 'M' which decorates our wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans after the end of the Second World War.
Over several decades Richard Mosbacher turned the estate into what it is today: one of high reputation and prestige. As of 1992 the next generation, Sabine Mosbacher-Düringer and her husband Jürgen, helped him in this task and the size of the estate has since expanded to its present 20 hectares (54.36 US acres) of cultivated vineyards. In the meantime Sabine and Jürgen are managing the estate and safeguarding its reputation as one of the best wineries in the Palatinate. Read more
