"Harvested at 104 Oeschle and fermented to 8% alcohol, the nutmeg, Japanese melon, and tangerine-scented 2001 Riesling Spatlese Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg impressively contrasts richness with delineation. Juicy apples, spicy botrytis, white peaches, and hints of tropical fruits emerge from its dense, concentrated core. This extracted, powerful, lush offering has enormous density yet retains the vintage's tell-tale purity and focus."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A historic Riesling region along the Rhine, producing racier, often drier wines of structure and mineral depth from south-facing slopes.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
