Clean Slate Riesling

Riesling bottle image

Wine Description

The fresh, balanced taste of clean slate is achieved by carefully selecting grapes from vineyards throughout the Mosel. The steep blue slate slopes of the Lower Mosel give the wine its minerality while the Middle Mosel provides a hint of spice to complement the characteristic fresh peach flavors of the Upper Mosel.

“Clean Slate offers forward, fresh grapefruit and lemon flavors with just a hint of smoke in this offdry Riesling. It’s a straightforward yet consistently elegant wine for everyday enjoyment.” (Best Buy)
— Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2017
“You can't find a better white wine for $11 than this. It's a mélange of tropical fruit lushness and bracing, citrus crispness - just think of tangy fresh pineapple.”
— Nick Passmore, Feb 2017
