Spätlese Wasserrose

1992 Rheingau Riesling

The Schloss Grenesteyn Spätlese Wasserrose from the esteemed Rheingau region is a captivating white wine that embodies the essence of German winemaking. With its vibrant, pale gold hue, this vintage 1992 Riesling tantalizes the senses with a bouquet of ripe stone fruit, floral notes, and a hint of minerality. The mouthfeel is delightfully medium-bodied, offering a harmonious balance between refreshing acidity and luscious sweetness. Each sip reveals a pronounced fruit intensity, showcasing flavors of juicy peach and bright citrus, highlighted by a slight minerality that adds depth. This off-dry wine is not overly sweet, making it an inviting option for various occasions, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light dishes or spicy cuisine. The Schloss Grenesteyn Spätlese Wasserrose truly reflects the unique terroir of the Rheingau, promising a delightful experience for both Riesling enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

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).
