Name a famous Riesling site in the Mosel region.

• A. Schloss Johannisberg
• B. Erdener Prälat
• C. Kloster Eberbach
• D. Piesporter Goldtröpfchen

Answer: (B)

The Mosel region is famous for Riesling grown on steep slate slopes, which gives wines that are tense, mineral, and highly age-worthy. Erdener Prälat is one of the Mosel’s most celebrated single-vineyard sites, perched on steep slate above the village of Erden. Wines from this site are renowned for intense minerality, bright acidity, and the ability to age gracefully, making Erdener Prälat a quintessential Mosel Riesling landmark. The other options aren’t in Mosel (they’re in the Rheingau), so they don’t fit the regional focus, while Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is also a respected Mosel site but Erdener Prälat is widely regarded as one of the iconic Mosel sites, which is why it’s the best choice here.
