Schlink Haus Riesling Spätlese Nahe (75cl, 11.5%)

A medium-sweet, late-harvest German Riesling from the Nahe region, produced by the Schlink family and bottled in a 750ml format. Spätlese designates a late-harvest classification under German wine law, with grapes picked after standard harvest for higher sugar concentration. The Nahe valley's temperate climate and varied soils give its Rieslings an interplay of ripe fruit and minerality. The nose is fragrant, with preserved peach, ripe mango, soapy floral tones, lychee, tropical fruit and fresh apple. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, with guava, white grapefruit and slightly confected sweetness, balanced by lime acidity. The finish is medium in length, with earthen minerality and lingering citrus zest.
