"While the 2012 Brücke Auslese has a fair bit more botrytis than the Hermannshöhle Auslese this year . . . . The very succulent nose offers up scents of apple, orange, slate, a touch of petrol, ripe pineapple, bee pollen and orange blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and racy, with lovely focus and complexity, a fine core, bright acids and a long, vibrant and juicy finish that closes with a fine synthesis of tropical fruit and minerality. This is a lovely 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.
