RATINGS

**IWC - David Schildknecht

..pear and apricot nectar with lemon meringue; sweet, rich and slightly oily...exceptionally long finish of lemon candy, apricot jam and marzipan shows great refinement, delicacy and purity, and sufficiently enlivening and enticing acids...

Beautiful clarity and expression. Bright aromas and flavors of peach, pineapple, grapefruit and mineral highlight this airy auslese. It seems like the intensity is burned onto the vibrant structure. Fine length.

REGION

Germany, Rheinhessen

Rheinhessen is Germany’s largest “anbaugebiete,” or “quality wine region.” With 65,000 vineyard acres located along the Rhine, it is in the center of Germany’s wine industry. And, for many years, the region was known primarily for producing large amounts of bulk wine blends. In recent years, however, it has become one of the most exciting wine producing areas in Germany, thanks in large part to an energetic group of young, talented, worldly winemakers who have shaken up the region with a return to traditional, rather than industrial, winemaking methods and an emphasis on quality. The dominant grape in Rheinhessen is Muller-Thurgau, followed by Riesling, Sylvaner, Scheurebe, and several others.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Auslese

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
