The Mosel region, along with its two tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer, is one of the most exciting wine regions in Germany and internationally. Historically renowned for its iconic wines from slate-rich, terraced vineyards along the Middle Mosel, the area boasts celebrated growers and esteemed estates such as J.J. Prüm and Dr. Loosen, as well as the legendary wines from the Scharzhofberg vineyard by Egon Müller. There was a time when the finest Mosel wines commanded higher prices than some of the most prestigious wines from France.
Traditionally, Mosel wines have been associated with sweet Rieslings—and indeed, they can be delightfully sweet. However, the majority are characterised by fresh, zippy acidity with laser-sharp focus and precision, offering a broad and complex flavour profile. In recent years, the production of dry wines has significantly increased. In fact, many VDP (Verein Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) members produce Grosse Gewächse wines from Grand Cru vineyards, which must be crafted in a dry style. These premium German wines are now more accessible than ever, making it easier to buy Mosel wine online in the UK.
That said, nothing quite compares to a beautifully chilled Mosel Kabinett from a phenomenal vintage. With its harmonious balance of fruit and acidity—often at 9% ABV or lower—it is the perfect partner for summer picnics, barbecues, casual lunches, and pool parties. In fact, Mosel Kabinett might just be the ultimate pool or garden party wine! Mosel wines & food? Try Sushi, your favourite curry or Mexican Taco's.
And let’s not forget—Riesling isn't the only grape thriving in the Mosel. There's a real buzz around Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), which is experiencing an exciting revival. Additionally, old Elbling plantings from innovative winemakers like Jonas Dostert showcase a completely different side of the Mosel. For fans of natural wines from Germany, these offerings provide a fresh perspective on the region.
For more traditional Riesling styles, explore the wines of Dr. Loosen or J.J. Prüm. If you're after something steelier and more electric, Peter Lauer, Weingut Müller, and Vollenweider are must-tries. Or, if you're intrigued by wines with extended ageing and a more "natural wine" approach, Philip Lardot offers an exceptional experience.
