Moselle
Lorraine river wine
Moselle is a white wine produced in the Moselle River valley, which runs through northeastern France, Luxembourg, and western Germany.
German Moselle wines (also spelled Mosel) are typically light, crisp, and made from Riesling grapes: a chilled glass of Moselle with dinner.
The river itself forms a significant wine-growing region in Europe.
