Dr. Hermann - Riesling Erdener Pralat TBA Alte Reben LGK - 2023 - 375ml

100 Points “Picked at the bottom of the cru for two weeks at the end of September and early October, the intensely golden yet vital-looking 2023 Erdener Prälat Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Alte Reben (Long Gold Capsule) opens with a generous, very intense and smooth nose with tropical fruit aromas but also dates, smoked ham and hints of fresh toasted mocha beans. On the palate, this is a highly finessed and crystalline, stimulating saline and savory Prälat with an unrivalled freshness and crystal-clear precision. This finesse makes me speechless and the stimulating finish even more. The healthy berries were picked at 215° Oechsle, and the wine fermented to 340 grams per liter of residual sugar (and 6% stated alcohol). The acidity is precise and sharp like in a great Eiswein (19.5 grams per liter of total acidity). 50 liters were made.” Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
