"âThis represents the best cask in the cellar,â said Armin Diel. âIt was supposed to be destined for Grosses Gewächs, but along the way it tasted so sensational that Caroline made the recommendation: âSpätleseâ.â That was a good call! Ravishingly succulent white peach and tender but tangy strawberry are wreathed in a diverse bouquet of flowers and vibrantly infused with nuanced stony, crystalline, and saline elements. The sense of levity here is nearly weightless and the creaminess seductively caressing. Yet there is lingering primary juiciness and animating brightness to charge the entire performance with almost electric energy. Here is a haunting example of distinctively 2014 vintage virtues that will live and quite possibly further blossom for decades."

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 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.
