Binger Scharlachberg Spatlese

2004 Rheinhessen Riesling

With a luscious body that is well-rounded and inviting, this wine reveals delightful layers of flavor. Its high acidity brings a vibrant and refreshing quality, which harmoniously elevates the prominent fruit intensity of honeyed apricots and ripe peaches, creating a mouthwatering experience. This Spatlese offers a noticeable sweetness, leaving a delicate and refined finish on the palate. The wine's carefully crafted character reflects the exceptional terroir of the Scharlachberg vineyard, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate elegant and expressive white wines from Germany.

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).
