- A beautifully styled, fragrant German medium wine showing floral and ginger notes combined with peach, mandarins and a hint of lime. Long and elegant.A rich and fragrant Spätlese, with an exotic bouquet of orange peel, pineapple, and lime complemented by ripe red apple and delicious mineral undertones. The initial sweetness is perfectly balanced by a juicy freshness on the palate and a delicately creamy finish.
The grapes were carefully selected and gently pressed in whole clusters. A slow, long and cool fermentation took place with wild yeasts in 100% stainless steel tanks, preserving the varietal characteristics of the Riesling grapes and the terroir from which they hail. The wine was aged for five months on its fine lees, adding texture and complexity.
This is a rich and fragrant Spätlese, with an exotic bouquet of orange peel, pineapple, and lime complemented by ripe red apple and delicious mineral undertones. The initial sweetness is perfectly balanced by a juicy freshness on the palate and a delicately creamy finish.

| Winery | The south-facing vineyard is steep, with a gradient of 45° and climbs from 114 to 181 metres above sea level. The Riesling vines are grown in quartz stone from the Taunus hillsides interspersed with red clay and topped with loam and rich loss, which retains water and the day's heat. This unique vineyard sees the 50° parallel run directly through the vineyard, and the forest on the top of the Taunus hillsides protects the vines from cold winds. The vines produce limited yields, and the grapes are carefully harvested by hand. Spatlese is translated as "late harvest": the grapes are harvested at least seven days after the normal harvest, so they are riper, have higher sugar content and produce wines of greater intensity. |
