Note di degustazione
The 2023 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Spätlese (AP #5) is fragrant, frisky and floral on the very charming and finely spicy nose that shows a tender reductive tone. Refined and filigree on the palate, this is a delicately racy and concentrated, juicy and savory Spätlese from the Braune Kupp, a 4.5-hectare monopole partly owned and partly leased by Egon Müller. The 2023 reveals a structure of crystalline acidity, is persistently savory and doesn't show any sweet sensations due to the mineral savoriness and great balance of this highly delicate and charming Riesling. This Riesling has been released under the old Le Gallais label for 70 years, which honors the name of Müller's neighbors in Kanzem from whom his father Egon III leased 2.5 hectares in 1953.

The 2023 Riesling Wiltinger Braune Kupp Spätlese, made with 40% fruit affected by various degrees of botrytis infection, is shy on the nose but teases with a tropical frisson of passionfruit and red-cheeked peach colored by tangerine. The palate offers a beautifully pure and bold depiction of red-shot peaches countered by both fresh and candied tangerine peel. It's beautifully sweet yet tempered, with a light, streamlined, incredibly juicy body. The finish is utterly lip-smacking, bright, animating and long.
The 2023 Riesling Wiltinger Braune Kupp Spätlese #11 is pale in hue with a slightly smoky scent that lets the slate take center stage on the nose. The palate charms immediately, resting on the tongue like a cooling, gentle, lemon-bright balm of the smoothest, ripest crushed peach flesh. This tastes like a peach, mint and lemon sorbet. It is wonderfully clear-cut, sweet and tart, but above all, this is elegant and almost weightless. (Medium)
