Müller-Catoir Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese is a wine produced by the Müller-Catoir winery. The grapes are sourced from the Bürgergarten vineyard, located in the Pfalz region of Germany, which is known for its unique soil composition and ideal, sunny, microclimate for growing Riesling grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation to extract and preserve the natural flavors and aromas of the fruit. The resulting wine is a classic Spätlese style, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and a complex bouquet of citrus, peach, and slatey mineral notes. This wine is a must-try for any Riesling lover looking for a high-quality, authentic expression of the Pfalz terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Müller-Catoir Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese is a delightful white wine, with a light straw color and a perfumed nose of lime, grapefruit, and white flowers.On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a vibrant acidity perfectly balanced by honeyed sweetness. The finish is long and refreshing, with a lingering sweetness that lingers on the tongue. A great wine that can be enjoyed now but will improve over the next 20 years and develop deep honey and dried mint notes.
