Production
Sustainable, according to strict German environmental regulations. Harvest method: Selective handharvest(50% Botrytis grapes).Blue slate is the most typical type of slate in the Middle Mosel. Rich in potassium, it provides vital nutrients to the vines and gives the wines a pronounced mineral edge that enhances the naturally high acidity of Riesling. In addition to the heat-retaining blue slate soil, the vineyards are characterized by incredibly steep slopes, a favorable position near the river and excellent drainage.

Tasting notes
Auslese means “selected from the harvest,” and is a luscious, limited-production sweet wine made from very ripe clusters that are about 50 percent affected by botrytis. The botrytis mold (aka “Noble Rot”) draws moisture from the grapes, dehydrating them and concentrating the juice. The resulting wine is dense, intensely flavoured and rich on the palate, but balanced by Riesling’s naturally crisp acidity
