It finishes with a touch of salt, a touch of lime and a touch of peach. It features tart apple, peach and lime flavors with outstanding acidity. The palate brings even more excitement with a vibrant tart-yet-slightly-sweet flavor profile. It’s a combination of mineral and floral fragrances. And when I say bath salts, I don’t mean some crazy drug that makes you eat someone’s face off, I mean the stuff you put in your bath. It offers aromas like lemon, bath salts and rose with moderate intensity. But that break from tradition doesn’t mean they’ve sacrificed at all on quality. The label design also stands out from other German riesling as being a bit more modern. Instead it has been given a name that is a fun and rather modern play on words. Its positioning has nothing to do with a long-standing family history. And if you know anything about German geography, you can probably guess that the region runs along the Moselle river.Ĭoming from a region that has a long history with winemaking, and a region where many wine producers have a heritage spanning centuries, Clean Slate seems rather contemporary. It’s best known for its riesling, which tends to be high in acidity and typically offers pronounced floral aromas. It’s the third largest region in the country, but seems to be the most prominent region internationally. Well, within German wines Mosel is a region you’ll see often. In my last riesling review for Louis Riesling I mentioned how seeking rieslings from Germany would increase the likelihood that the riesling you buy is good.
