Tasting Notes

The 2018 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Spätlese (AP #5) offers a very clear, fine, ripe, floral-scented bouquet of weathered slate and bright, ripe fruits. Sweet yet fine and fresh on the palate, with crystalline and sharp acidity, this is a generous, mouth-filling but very fine and elegant Spätlese with lots of charm and finesse. The finish is very intense, long and salty and reveals a firm mineral structure and tension. Quite sweet. Tasted in June 2019.

(Egon Müller Wiltinger braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese) AP: 05 19. The 2018er Wiltinger braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (85 g/l). It proves quite restrained at first and only gradually reveals its intense and ripe nose of pineapple, mango, almond cream, papaya, plum, candied peach, and orange blossom. Bold and ripe flavors of pear, quince and apricot make for a very smooth and rich feel on the creamy palate. The wine proves intense and powerful in the long finish and leaves the impact of an Auslese in the after-taste. This opulent and quite baroque wine will need a solid decade (if not more) to integrate its sweetness and develop its refined side. 2028-2048
