Spätburgunder Beerenauslese Weissherbst

1997 Rheingau Pinot Noir

The August Kesseler Spätburgunder Beerenauslese Weissherbst from the Rheingau region is an exquisite expression of Pinot Noir that showcases the exceptional quality of the 1997 vintage. This lovely red wine is rich and luscious, offering a full-bodied experience that envelops the palate with its opulence. Its vibrant acidity adds a refreshing brightness, perfectly balancing the intense fruit flavors of juicy red berries, cherries, and slight floral notes. The velvety tannins give it structure without overpowering, creating a delightful mouthfeel that invites additional sips. This wine is beautifully sweet, yet it maintains a seamless harmony that makes it a perfect companion for decadent desserts or enjoyed on its own as a luxurious treat.

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).
