Very powerful wine - the sweetnest of the “Auslese” series that’s close to a beerenauslese, even trockenbeerenauslese. Although showing masses of pure botrytis flavour the wine is still clearly recogniseable as a Riesling and has a wonderful Acidic backbone that gives it great energy. This is a knockout and offers good value at the price.

Tasted: Feb 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $34)
