"Grilled pineapple, mango, and banana overlain with caramel constitute the gaudy scents and flavors of Mingesâ 2009 Burrweiler Schlossgarten Rieslaner Spatlese, which performs with marked similarity to its exhibitionist 2008 predecessor. Sweetly confectionary and herbal liqueur-like though it is, this still harbors 10.5% alcohol (true too of other sweet Minges Spatlesen of the vintage), and itâs arguably more an Auslese in character. It finishes long and drippingly-rich, with fascinatingly funky incursions of musk, sage, and passion fruit. This striking wine wonât be everyoneâs cup of Rieslaner, but for sipping unaccompanied it will at the very least get a conversation going, and there might also be some interesting applications with fruit deserts that arenât themselves too sweet."

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.
