Tasting Notes

A different style from 2010, when every ounce of extract and residual sugar had to be fought for. In 2011 the fruit has turned out a lot more opulent with real ripe and exotic notes. Very luscious and juicy, it still sports enough acidity to go long distance. Invigoratingly fresh, this Spätlese uses a spicy tangent to lift it into the complexity stakes, whereas in 2010 the emphasis seemed to be more on minerality. In terms of sheer class they cannot be separated! 2012 - 2021
