2013 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Auslese

The 2013 Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Auslese has a clear, discreet and noble bouquet delivering the typical aromas of wet red slate and spring flowers along with perfect pineapple, lemon, candied lime peel and grapefruit aromas. The wine (at 8% of alcohol) is very elegant and minerally piquant on the palate such that the sweetness is extremely well hidden or is perceptible more as ripe fruits. This is an excellent, extremely stimulating and delicate Auslese with just one problem: the bottle is far too small for one person alone.
