The Mosel River is the sinuous spine of the Mosel region. Together with its two small tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer, the Mosel composes one geographical entity. Although each river's vineyard area produces a wine with its own distinctive personality, the three share a family resemblance: a fragrance reminiscent of spring blossoms, a pale colour, light body and a refreshing, fruity acidity.
