This delicious Mosel Spatlese makes you wonder why the wines of this category are stubbornly unfashionable. Cool and herbal, with plenty of spring flower character, this is a beautifully crafted wine with great precision on the medium-bodied palate. Extremely long, refreshing and precise finish that's crystal clear. The natural grape sweetness is already beautifully integrated and is therefore unobtrusive. Drink or hold. ... More details

The 2023 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Spätlese unites the ethereal scent of yarrow with fresh, tart red apple. The palate adds citrus aroma and zestiness, with lemon peel accentuating the herbal frisson and clementine adding vivid juiciness. This is beautifully balanced, totally serene and so elegant.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
