With its origins in a revered site and the heritage of ancient, rootstock vines, this wine exemplifies the artistry and legacy of Weiser-Künstler.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Spätlese, meaning "late harvest" in German, indicates that the grapes were picked later in the harvest season, resulting in a wine with a higher level of sweetness.On the nose, this wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, accompanied by floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. There is also a hint of citrus, with zesty aromas of lime and lemon adding a refreshing touch.
The palate is equally impressive, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The sweetness is beautifully integrated, providing a luscious mouthfeel without overpowering the wine. Flavors of juicy peaches, ripe pear, and tangy pineapple dance on the tongue, while a vibrant acidity cuts through, keeping the wine lively and refreshing.
