    Profile
    This is a Riesling with considerable grip, showing lovely notes of fresh elderflower and a fine aroma of raisins on the nose. Concentrated and corpulent on the palate, with a wonderful balancing act between sweetness and acidity. A slightly saline finish provides the finishing touch.

    Pairs beautifully with...
    Spicy Indian dishes that contain fruit; this off-dry Riesling also goes well with cuisine from other parts of Asia and with North African dishes.
    Vintage
    The year started very wet with what seemed like three months of non-stop rain.
    Spring was warm and dry – ideal conditions for an early bud burst.
    Continuation: In Summer weather improved day by day. Only our youngest vines were a little less happy, as their roots have not yet reached the necessary depth to get through dry periods completely unscathed.
    When harvest-time came nature spoiled us with heavenly conditions and a “golden autumn”. Our fruit was outstanding at all quality and Prädikat wine levels. We were fortunate enough to select Trockenbeerenauslesen – the pinnacle of any vintage – from a number of different sites. The extra warmth resulting in exceptional levels of ripeness, flavour and minerality as well as excellent quantities.
    Summary: A sun-blessed year of superlatives!
