Dr. Hermann - Riesling Erdener Treppchen Auslese GK - 2021

The 2021er Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese GK was made with fruit barely affected by botrytis (30%) harvested at 105° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (112 g/l). It offers a gorgeously fresh and complex nose of whipped almond cream, orange blossom, lime tree, jasmine, cassis, prune, violet, anise, and bergamot. The wine is magnificently playful and balanced on the palate, where some delicate and refined exotic elements are wrapped into a blanket of candied zesty fruits. The finish is all about freshness as ripe acidity (not unlike that of an Eiswein) leads the pace and proves hugely long. What a breathtaking Auslese GK! 97 Points Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines
