Schmitt Söhne Riesling Auslese (75cl, 8.5%)

Schmitt Söhne Riesling Auslese is a late-harvest German Riesling from the Mosel region, designated Auslese under the Prädikatswein classification. Grapes are harvested in cool early morning hours, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Auslese designation requires grapes to reach a must weight of at least 83 to 100° Oechsle. The nose brings wild honeysuckle, dried peach, floral honey, ripe tangerine and mineral notes. The palate is lush with ripe apricot, nectarine, citrus, green apple, dried apricot, tangerine and floral honey, with mineral undertones. The finish lingers with honeyed fruit and bright acidity.
