Riesling
Drink 2023-2032
Serve 10°C
Alc. 12,5%
A Riesling with bright acidity, minerality, and flavors from ripe fruit as green apple, citrus, and hints of stone fruit, balanced by floral and lightly herbal notes. It has a clean, refreshing finish with crispness.
Spätlese: this means the grapes were harvested later than usual (Spätlese translates to "late harvest"), allowing for greater sugar concentration and deeper flavors
Trocken: the wine is classified as "dry," meaning it has little to no residual sugar (2g), allowing the crisp acidity and mineral qualities of the Riesling to shine through
Osterberg: this refers to the vineyard location, which is a top-tier site, as the "Osterberg" name suggests it comes from a high-quality terroir with ideal growing conditions for Riesling
2018 Vintage: this particular vintage might was influenced by the weather conditions of that year. In general, 2018 was a warm and dry year that led to wines with more fruit-forward qualities, but still with a balance of acidity
This wine would pair excellently with seafood, poultry, or light salads, and it’s a great choice for those who prefer a drier, more focused style of Riesling.
