August Ziegler Riesling Auslese Gimmeldinger Biengarten

2005 Pfalz Riesling

This vintage, crafted in two thousand five, showcases a brilliant, golden-yellow hue that immediately draws the eye. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced with a medium body and an elevated acidity that brings a refreshing quality to each sip, acting as a delightful counterpoint to the prominent fruit intensity of ripe stone fruits and honeyed notes. The wine's sweetness is well-integrated, seamlessly offering a luscious mouthfeel while remaining remarkably clean and crisp. Its subtle softness makes it an inviting choice for those new to fine Rieslings, while the structure ensures it will complement a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian flavors to rich desserts, highlighting its food-friendly character. Overall, this Auslese is a testament to the quality and character of Riesling from the Pfalz, promising both enjoyment and a memorable tasting experience.

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).
