Riesling Beerenauslese

2005 Rheingau Riesling

The Hans Lang Riesling Beerenauslese from the Rheingau region is a stunning white wine that showcases the exceptional qualities of the Riesling varietal. This vintage from 2005 is a true testament to the artistry of winemaking, presenting a luscious mouthfeel and well-balanced sweetness that is beautifully complemented by vibrant acidity. The wine bursts with intense fruit flavors, featuring notes of honeyed apricot, ripe peach, and hints of delicate citrus. Its remarkable depth and complexity are underlined by a subtle minerality that adds to the overall experience. This exquisite dessert wine is not only delightful on its own but also pairs beautifully with artisanal cheeses or fruit-based desserts, making it a perfect choice for any special occasion.

Region:


Rheingau

Germany's most famous wine region, the small but mighty Rheingau has built its stellar reputation on its delightfully dry Riesling. Thanks to the south-facing aspect of the Rhine Valley's slopes here—plus the shelter provided by the Taunus hills—the Rheingau's vineyards enjoy a unique mesoclimate that helps grapes ripen perfectly. As a result, these medium- to full-bodied white wines often display satisfying flavors of ripe peach. Fans of red wine should also look out for its Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder), which usually comes from vineyards near the village of Assmannhausen.
