Leonard Kreusch Spätlese is a medium sweet wine produced in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The wine is a blend of Faberrebe, Sylvaner, Baachus and Kerner that are late harvested which allows the grapes to accumulate higher levels of sugar. The grapes are pressed and fermented individually, in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks. The fermentation is halted prematurely by chilling the tank to retain sweetness in the wine. A short period of maturation on the fine lees (decomposing yeast) provides greater depth and complexity to the wine.
