wine description
2021 Rheingau Riesling Auslese | Halbflasche
After three years characterized by warm summers and low rainfall, 2021 presented us with a cool and wet summer that challenged us viticulturally. After a warm winter, we again feared that there would be an early bud break again and that the trend of the last few years would continue. But a cold spring luckily slowed down the development of nature. Due to cool temperatures in July and August, we only started harvesting in mid-September. The grapes were extremely varied in quality and quantity as there was a back and forth in terms of weather throughout the year.
In the glass, the wine shows a green-gold color. The dense tears indicate a high viscosity. On the nose you notice a fruity mixture of apricots, mirabelle plums and pink grapefruit. On the palate, the Auslese presents itself with a fresh sweetness that is nicely balanced by the lively acid structure. The yields are 35 hl/ha.
Well chilled at 10° Celsius with frois gras, light fruit tarts, or simply as a sweet aperitif.
