96+ JG ". . . the turbocharger kicks in and this wine seamlessly moves out into the passing lane. The bouquet is deeper and even more complex than the lovely wine above, as it offers a stunning purity of lime, tangerine, petrol, bottomless slate minerality, citrus blossoms and a wonderfully, esthery topnote. On the palate the wine is medium-full, laser-like and sparkles like a diamond, with bright acids, perfect balance and a profound, magical and multi-faceted long finish. SpÀtlese simply does not get any better than this great wine."

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.
