"While the 2011 Brücke Spätlese is a bit exotic aromatically from its very gentle glaze of botrytis, the Auslese is completely classic. The very clean and pure botrytis here has produced a brilliant Auslese, which soars from the glass in a blaze of apple, white cherries, gentle notes of honeycomb, a touch of tangerine, spring flowers and a glorious base of slate. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, pure and quite reserved today, with a great core of fruit, racy acids, again, outstanding filigree and magical length and grip on the laser-like finish. This is a brilliant young bottle of Auslese that perfectly showcases the great purity and utterly pristine botrytis of the best sweet wines of the vintage."

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.
