Wachenheimer Riesling Beerenauslese

1971 Pfalz Riesling

The Wachenheimer Wachenheimer Riesling Beerenauslese from the illustrious Pfalz region is a magnificent representation of this esteemed varietal. This vintage, crafted in 1971, showcases a radiant pale gold hue that catches the light beautifully. The wine offers a luscious and full-bodied experience, with vibrant acidity that keeps the palate feeling lively and fresh. Rich, concentrated fruit intensity is evident, delivering delectable notes of apricot, honey, and hints of citrus, intertwining seamlessly with a touch of floral elegance. The sweetness is perfectly balanced, making it a dessert wine that is never cloying, while the delightful texture and notable complexity invite sips long into the evening. This remarkable Riesling is a true gem, a testament to the wondrous winemaking traditions of Pfalz.

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).
