Bechtheimer Hasensprung Spatelese

2011 Rheinhessen Riesling

The Weingut Oek.-Rat Johann Geil I. Erben Bechtheimer Hasensprung Spätlese is a delightful expression of Riesling from the esteemed Rheinhessen region, showcasing the best qualities of its vintage. This white wine presents a radiant light golden hue, inviting the senses to explore its enticing aromas. On the nose, it reveals vibrant notes of ripe stone fruits, including juicy apricots and luscious peaches, harmonized beautifully with hints of floral undertones and a touch of honey. The palate is brilliantly balanced, offering a refreshing vibrancy that enhances its fruit-forward character. With a pleasing sweetness characteristic of a Spätlese, this wine showcases a lovely mouthwatering acidity that elevates its flavor profile, making it a beautifully crafted choice for various occasions. Its subtle, delicate sweetness combined with a graceful texture creates an overall charming experience, perfect for pairing with light dishes or enjoying on its own.

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).
