NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The term "Spätlese" indicates that the grapes used to make this wine were harvested later in the season, allowing them to fully ripen and develop concentrated flavors.This results in a wine with a higher level of sweetness and complexity.
On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus, accompanied by floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. The palate is rich and luscious, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, mingle with zesty lemon and lime, creating a harmonious and refreshing taste profile.
