Spätlese

2004 Rheingau Riesling

The Schloss Vollrads Spätlese 2004 is a delightful example of the enchanting qualities found in Rheingau Rieslings. This white wine presents a medium body that harmoniously showcases its luscious character. With a noticeable high acidity, it offers a bright and mouthwatering experience that elevates its vibrant notes of stone fruit and honey. The fruit intensity is prominent, exuding aromas of ripe peaches and apricots, complemented by subtle floral undertones. The wine is elegantly off-dry, making it a wonderfully balanced choice for those who appreciate sweetness without overwhelming richness. This exceptional Spätlese captures the essence of its region, offering a pleasurable sip that reflects the renowned terroir of Rheingau.

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.
