Kochan & Platz have defined not only our rigid Mosel-is-Riesling assumptions, but also the assumption that Dornfelder is an inferior grape. Their Dornfelder red is a lip-smacking, glou-glou, heart-stealing wine for foodies at an equally heart-stealing price. Cheeky cherry and cherry blossom notes make this a fun, frivolous, and pretty wine. It's perfect for everyday food, especially chilli dishes, and summer reds. This dry Dornfelder has an intense aroma of ripe sweet cherry, plum, and raspberry jam. A typical Dornfelder, it's dark in colour, fruity, appealing, and palatable. This makes it suitable for many occasions, and can even be served slightly chilled in summer. The grapes come from the steep slopes of Lieser, in the heart of the Mosel region, where the winery has a deep respect for tradition.
