MOSELLAND BLACK CAT RIESLING QBA 500 ml

Description

Discover the MOSELLAND BLACK CAT RIESLING QBA, a vibrant white wine from Germany's storied Mosel-Saar-Ruwer landscape. Crafted by Moselland eG, a cooperative born in 1969 when local growers united to become Rheinland-Pfalz's biggest wine collective, this Riesling embodies their dedication to excellence. What started as a bold alliance has evolved into a powerhouse, channeling passion into every bottle with smart, dependable practices that keep innovation at the forefront.

Riesling drives everything for this team—they stand among the globe's top creators and distributors of the varietal. From the expansive Rheinhessen area, Germany's premier wine zone with roots tracing to Roman times along the Rhine, this wine draws from a landscape shaped by a sheltered basin. Here, vines flourish under some of the nation's sunniest, driest conditions: scant rain, balmy summers, and gentle winters nurture roughly 9,400 acres of Riesling, claiming 14% of the region's plantings.

Selected vineyard grapes undergo careful handling—gentle pressing followed by thorough must clarification. Fermentation happens with chosen yeasts in precisely managed temperatures, then the wine rests in stainless steel tanks right up to bottling. The outcome pours full of pear and citrus scents, alive and inviting.

On the tongue, expect a lively dance: fresh fruit notes mingle with a touch of sweetness, perfectly countered by that signature Riesling zing. At 10% ABV and in a handy 500 ml size, it's an easy choice for any gathering. Picture it alongside subtle dishes or those with a spicy kick—its balance elevates flavors without overpowering. Or savor it solo, letting the crisp finish linger.

This QBA Riesling captures the essence of its origins, offering reliable pleasure from a producer obsessed with the grape. Whether you're exploring German whites or seeking a go-to for casual nights, the Black Cat delivers character in every sip. Slip it into your cart and let Moselland's legacy brighten your table.
