Region: Germany
Appellation: Mosel
Type/Style: White Wine
Grapes: Elbling

Most people associate the Mosel with Riesling, but Matthias Hild is helping preserve one of Germany's oldest and most historic grape varieties: Elbling. Grown on the limestone soils of the Obermosel near the Luxembourg border, this wine offers a completely different expression of the region. Aromas of lemon peel, green apple, pear blossom, and sea spray lead into a palate defined by chalky minerality and vibrant acidity. Light-bodied, refreshing, and incredibly food-friendly, Hild's Elbling feels like a cross between Muscadet, Chablis, and a squeeze of fresh citrus. Honest, refreshing wine doesn't get much better than this. Perfect with oysters, shellfish, charcuterie, or anything that calls for a cold glass and another sip.
