2019 Rheingau Spatlese

The 2019 Rheingau Riesling Spätlese is bright, fresh and piquant on the super clear and spicy nose, which is still shy due to heavy reduction. Mouthfillingly juicy yet refined and elegant on the palate, this is a filigreed and sustainably mineral Rheingau Spätlese. It is straight and linear, built on this lovely interplay of hidden sweetness and typical Rheingau freshness and crystallinity. Excellent and in the old feinherb Spätlese style rather than really sweet. Definitely a wine to quaff (preferably in 10 years). Tasted from AP 20 20 in April 2020.
