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.

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.
