Dr. Lippold Empress Josephine’s Riesling 2022 is an elegant and finely balanced Mosel Riesling crafted in honour of Empress Joséphine, Napoleon’s wife and a noted admirer of German wines. Sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards, the wine captures the purity, delicacy and mineral vibrancy that define classic Mosel terroir. The 2022 vintage produced beautifully ripe grapes with bright natural acidity, resulting in a Riesling that is both charming in youth and capable of graceful development.

Aromatically expressive, it opens with notes of lime zest, white peach, green apple and fragrant blossom, underpinned by a cool, stony minerality. The palate is crisp yet gently textured, offering a harmonious interplay of juicy citrus fruit, subtle sweetness and refreshing acidity. The finish is long, clean and quietly elegant. Dr. Lippold’s Empress Josephine’s Riesling 2022 is a delightful example of modern Mosel winemaking — vibrant, refined and effortlessly drinkable, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light, aromatic cuisine.
