Karp-Schreiber, Dry Karp Riesling

€17.99

This is a gorgeous wine from one of the most famed regions for Riesling in the world, the Mosel valley.

Made by 13th-generation J.J. Karp (Jobst), this is a dry Riesling, which is less common in the Mosel than those with more residual sugar. It captures the essence of the region perfectly, as well as the estate's history and respect for biodiversity and terroir. Flavours of green apple, citrus, apricot and orange blossom, make this a really charming and delicious wine.

The tradition of carp fishing in the Mosel is a well-established one with records dating to the 17th century of the Karp family doing just this while also owning vineyard land in the same region.

Marriage joined the family to the Schreiber family in 1900 and since then they have kept the Karp part of their practices to the name... The winery is now run in large part by Jobst-Julius Karp who honed his winemaking skills in Australia, South Africa, California and New Zealand before returning to the Mosel.

His international experience is telling in the wines he makes as they possess a charm and immediacy that breaks down barriers, much in the same way that the simplicity of the labels does the same.

I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
