"Fresh bouquet of apricot and pineapple accented by clove. Richer and a touch more elegant than the Blaufusser Lay, this off-dry riesling also carries more weight. A crisp, spicy finish and fine length place this wine at the pinnacle of the off-dry style. A hallmark for the vintage."
About the Producer:
"Heymann-Löwenstein's style of dense, powerful dry wines, veering towards the baroque rather than the rectilinear, has been an inspiration for a whole generation of Moselaner winemakers. All of the wines are harvested entirely by hand, and fermented slowly on natural yeasts until they reach a point of balanced dryness, the harmonious integration of sugar and acidity that characterized the famous Mosel Rieslings of the 19th century, then the most valuable wines in the world. The grapes are harvested late in the season, often with 10-20% botrytis-influenced fruit, and treated to extended lees contact, usually in the traditional Mosel fuder or 1000-liter cask."
Alcohol: 7%
