Schloss Vollrads Spätlese is a magnificent example of an aged Riesling from the esteemed Rheingau region. This delightful white wine showcases a beautifully light body that is both refreshing and elegant, making it incredibly food-friendly. The acidity is high, providing a bright and lively character that dances on the palate, enhancing the wine's mouthwatering qualities. With prominent fruit intensity, it emanates lush notes of apricot, peach, and honey, balanced by a delicate sweetness that is truly captivating. This Spätlese is delightfully off-dry, making it an inviting choice for those who appreciate a touch of sweetness in their wine. Enjoyed on its own or paired with spicy dishes or rich desserts, this vintage is a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Schloss Vollrads 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).
