Wine of the Week

By Brenda Maitland

2006 Urban Riesling
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany
$12-$15 RETAIL


A simple yet classic bottling from the prestigious house of St. Urbans-Hof, this wine is a fine value and a great entrée into German Riesling. Grapes for the wine were sourced from parcels at neighboring vineyards a short distance up the Mosel River from the family estate. Low in alcohol, the wine is elegant and finely structured with characteristic aromas of fresh flowers and clean, crisp white-fleshed fruit. The fruit fragrance and flavors are enhanced by a refreshing minerality that follows on the palate, offering a perfect balance of vibrant acidity, good fruit and an off-dry touch of natural sweetness. Enjoy as an aperitif or with seafood, salads, spicy dishes, Asian cuisine or other light fare. Where to buy it: Swirl, Dorignac's and Corkscrewed. Where to drink it: Red Fish Grill, Restaurant August and Cochon. (Listings current at press time.)
