WINE DESCRIPTION
Schlink Haus Riesling Spätlese is a German white wine produced by Schlink Haus, a renowned winery located in the Nahe appellation. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are situated on steep slopes with slate soils, which impart unique slatey mineral characteristics to the wine. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of fully ripe grapes, which are then fermented at low temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Riesling grape. The resulting wine is a Spätlese, which means it is made from late-harvested grapes and has a slightly sweeter style than other Rieslings. This wine is known for its vibrant acidity, fruity aromas of peach and apricot, and a long, refreshing finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Schlink Haus Riesling Spätlese is a delightfully sweet and light-bodied white wine with a bright and vibrant acidity.On the nose, it has floral and stone fruit aromas of jasmine, apricot, and peach. On the palate, it has a creamy, honeyed texture with notes of fresh green apple, lemon zest, and white pepper. The finish is long and refreshing. This is a great example of a classic German Riesling, and it pairs well with light seafood dishes, salads, and spicy Asian cuisine.
