Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, sweet
Riesling Auslese — the rung above Spätlese on Germany's ripeness ladder, made from selected late-picked bunches and often with some noble rot in the mix. Apricot, honey and ripe peach with citrus and a wet-stone minerality, medium-bodied and distinctly sweet, but held in shape by the piercing acidity Riesling keeps even at this ripeness. Not a dessert wine so much as a sweet wine that works with food, particularly anything spiced or rich. Ages remarkably well — decades, not years.
