Er Hattenheim Pfaffenberg Riesling Spätlese

2011 Rheingau Riesling

The Domänenweingut Schloss Schönborn Er Hattenheim Pfaffenberg Riesling Spätlese from the enchanting Rheingau region is a captivating white wine that beautifully showcases the characteristics of its varietal. This 2011 vintage presents a delightful balance of elegance and sophistication, with a refreshing acidity that adds liveliness to each sip. The wine is medium-bodied, offering a sumptuous mouthfeel that is both smooth and inviting. Bursting with fruit intensity, it reveals luscious notes of ripe peach, succulent apricot, and hints of zesty citrus, creating a harmonious and vibrant palate. With a touch of residual sweetness, this Riesling is engagingly off-dry, making it a splendid choice for those who appreciate a rich yet beautifully balanced dessert wine experience that pairs exceptionally well with both savory and sweet dishes.

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).
