Wine Description

Riesling is also called the king of the white wines. It is a very typical grape variety in our region and needs spares and stony soil. Only on this soil it develops its typical character. The harvest is rather little, therefore the quality is especially good. In our Riesling Auslese are 100% Riesling grapes from our site “Steinleiten”, a very stony soil with little clay. 2018 the botrytis cinerea could develop easily. For our Riesling Auslese we selected grapes with botrytis cinerea and converted them to this wonderful sweet wine. Our Riesling Auslese 2018 is fruity in the nose, is well balanced in sweetness and acidity and has a long finish. It is a mineral and spicy sweet wine that goes well with fruity desserts!
