This late harvested wine is full bodied and rich with mouth filling ripe apricot, pineapple and honey overtones. The good acid balance results in a firm, lush, lingering finish that is very focused.

 
Background
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer is Germanys fifth largest wine growing region. Predomiantly planted with RIESLING. The river banks rise so sharply that the vineyards carpeting these slopes are among the steepest in the world.

Piesport is certainly one of the most famous wine villages in Germany, producing outstanding wines in the well known "Mosel" style.

The grapes for this wine were grown in slate soil, which is typical for the Mosel area and provides a unique benefit. The slate soil store the heat of the sun during the day time and gives it back to the vines at night and by doing so stimulates the grape growth in a natural way. The harmonious climate, warm summers and mild winters are typical for this growing area.
