Two Bottles Martin Müllen

On a wooden table stand two bottles of wine from Weingut Martin Müllen. One Riesling Spätlese from Kröver Paradies, one Spätlese from Kröver Letterlay. The labels show a map of the Mosel river. In the background, a wine glass and a stack of books can be seen.

To conclude this round of Rieslings, we're drawn back to the Mosel. We're drinking two Spätlese wines with two stars from Martin Müllen, one from Kröver Paradies and one from Kröver Letterlay. Both from 2017.
