Raventhaler Wulfen Riesling Spatlese

1971 Rheingau Riesling

The Hessische Staatsweingüter Raventhaler Wulfen Riesling Spätlese from the Rheingau region is a stunning representation of aged Riesling, showcasing a beautiful golden hue that hints at its maturity. This white wine offers a full-bodied experience with a refreshing acidity that deftly balances its natural sweetness, creating a harmonious profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruits and hints of honey, complemented by delicate floral aromas that evoke a sense of elegance. The tannins are soft and unobtrusive, lending a smooth texture to the wine, making it incredibly inviting. This wine is distinctly off-dry, accentuating its richness while providing a delightful mouthwatering finish that lingers on the palate, perfectly embodying the character of a classic Spätlese.

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).
