WINE DESCRIPTION
Schmitt Söhne Riesling Spätlese Intense & Fruity is a medium-sweet wine hailing from the Mosel region of Germany. The wine is made from the highly aromatic Riesling variety, known for its mouthwatering acidity and floral notes. The grapes can be sourced from all over the larger region, which allows Schmitt Söhne to create a well-balanced wine with greater consistency from year to year. The winemaking involves a partial fermentation in inert vessels at cool temperatures to retain the delicate floral profile. The fermentation is halted prematurely to retain sweetness, which helps to balance the mouthwatering acidity that characterizes the Riesling variety.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Riesling Spätlese from Schmitt Söhne has a pale straw appearance with green reflections.On the nose, this wine presents delicate notes of citrus and stone fruits, such as lemon and lime, along with hints of peach and white flowers. The aromas are inviting and give a sense of freshness and vitality. The palate shows a good balance between sweetness and acidity preventing the wine from being cloying. The acidity provides a refreshing and crisp mouthfeel, lifting the relatively brief, citrusy finish.
