Staffelter Hof Magnus Riesling 2022

Staffelter Hof Magnus Riesling 2022 is a distinguished white wine from the Mosel region in Germany, produced by the historic Staffelter Hof estate, which has been operating as a winery since 862 AD. This wine is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes, reflecting the estate's commitment to traditional winemaking practices.

The 2022 vintage was produced in a low-intervention manner, aiming to showcase a classic Mosel Riesling profile. The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity.

Appearance: Brilliant pale straw with subtle green hues, reflecting its youth and vibrancy. The wine’s clarity and brightness suggest a crisp, refreshing profile.

Aroma: Enticing notes of lime, green apple, and honeysuckle, complemented by hints of slate and flint. Subtle white peach and floral undertones add elegance and depth.

Taste: Zippy lime and red apple flavours overlay a delicate honeysuckle and slatey mineral backdrop. The wine displays a light, dry, and crisp profile with a vibrant acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit is pure and focused, with a subtle salinity adding complexity. The lees ageing imparts a slight creaminess, balancing the zesty citrus and green apple notes.

Finish: Finishes dry with a long aftertaste of lime, red apple, and slatey mineral characters. The crisp acidity and mineral undertones leave a refreshing and clean impression, inviting another sip.

Food Pairing: This Riesling pairs beautifully with grilled bass with tomato tapenade, Portuguese cod (Bacalao), and crab-stuffed potato skins, where its vibrant acidity and mineral notes complement the richness and flavours of these dishes.
