Spätlese

2008 Pfalz Riesling

The Weingut Karl Pfaffmann Erben Spätlese is a stunning white Riesling from the Pfalz region, celebrated for its vibrant expression and intricate balance. This vintage from 2008 showcases a rich mouthfeel that is undeniably full-bodied, complemented by bright acidity that adds a refreshing and lively character. Its fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing delightful notes of juicy stone fruit, particularly ripe peach and apricot, layered with hints of floral aromas that evoke the essence of the vineyard's terroir. This off-dry wine offers a pleasing sweetness that harmonizes beautifully with its lively structure, making it an exquisite choice for both casual sipping and pairing with a variety of cuisines. The wine stands out not only for its quality but also for the artisanal craftsmanship that embodies the Weingut Karl Pfaffmann estate.

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).
