Mosel
Rhine's winding tributary
Mosel is a river in western Europe flowing through France, Luxembourg, and Germany, known for the steep vineyard slopes along its banks.
The term commonly refers to wine from this region, particularly the light, aromatic white wines made from Riesling grapes: a glass of Mosel with dinner.
Also spelled Moselle, especially in French and English contexts.
