"The 2011 TĂŒrmchen SpĂ€tlese (of course, no mention of the name on the label - just the picture of the watchtower) is truly stunning this year and shows just how brilliant this section of old vines can be in a top vintage. The deep and magical nose soars from the glass in a blaze of pear, white cherries, a hint of Mirabelle, petrol, slate, bee pollen and apple blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine deep, medium-full and very intensely flavored, with a great core, racy acids, a fair bit of mid-palate sweetness for its PrĂ€dikat and great mineral drive on the very long, zesty and dancing finish. Just a brilliant SpĂ€tlese."

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.
