Mönchhof 2007 Mosel Slate Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
With 3,000 cases imported into the U.S., consumers should still be able to track down some of this sweet, luscious spätlese. Citrus and custard notes mark the nose, followed by rich, tropical elements, even some hints of banana. Despite the sugary richness, the wine ends clean and refreshing, thanks to a burst of lime on the finish.

Mönchhof 2005 Mosel Slate Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
A good value among spätlesen, Mönchhof’s 2005 Mosel Slate avoids the superripeness of the vintage, instead staying true to type. Hints of kerosene give a slate-like impression, layered over crisp lime and apple flavors. It’s lithe and sinuous, ending crisp and racy.

Boasts classic Mosel Riesling aromas and flavors—lime, pineapple, green apple, maybe a touch of honey—all at an eminently reasonable price. Though richer and creamier than you might expect, the weight is balanced by crisp acidity on the long finish.
