1999er Meddersheimer Altenberg Spatlese

1999 Nahe Riesling

The Weingut Helmut Hexamer 1999er Meddersheimer Altenberg Spätlese is a stunning representation of Nahe's exquisite terroir, showcasing the artistry of Riesling. This white wine reveals a golden hue, hinting at its rich complexity developed over years of aging. The body is full, offering a beautifully rounded mouthfeel that glides effortlessly across the palate. Its acidity is pronounced, providing a bright and lively character that dances in harmony with the fruity notes. Expect an intensity of fruit that is both prominent and vibrant, with layers of honeyed stone fruits and zesty citrus, underscored by delicate floral undertones. The residual sugar balances the wine, creating an off-dry finish that complements its overall elegance. This Riesling is not only a treasure from the memorable 1999 vintage but also a testament to the unique attributes of the Meddersheimer Altenberg vineyard, making it a delightful choice for any wine enthusiast.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
