"Here is a prime example of Rieslanerâs predilection for resisting botrytis but shriveling on its own into an ultra-concentrate of sugar, acid, extract and flavor. It was picked in the third week of October, toward the end of the estateâs harvest. Overripe muskmelon, quince and mirabelle preserves, orange marmalade and glazed pineapple are featured on a heady nose and an opulent, glycerol-rich palate of confitured and confectionary sweetness that is barely held back, thanks to high acidity, from becoming cloying. This wine doesnât â for now, at least â possess the cooling herbal component, mouthwatering salinity or juiciness and buoyancy of the corresponding SpĂ€tlese. But it displays terrific persistence and will be well worth following for many years."

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.
