Wallufer Walkenberg Spatlese

2003 Rheingau Riesling

The Toni Jost Wallufer Walkenberg Spatlese from the esteemed Rheingau region is a delightful representation of Riesling at its finest. This white wine showcases a vibrant golden hue, immediately enticing the senses. The vintage of 2003 has developed beautifully, offering a medium-bodied profile that captivates with its luscious stone fruit notes, particularly apricot and peach, paired with subtle floral undertones. Its high acidity creates a refreshing tension on the palate, while the pronounced fruit intensity elevates the overall experience. The sweetness balances perfectly, making it an off-dry wine that pairs wonderfully with a variety of cuisines or serves as a delightful aperitif. This exquisite Riesling is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Toni Jost and the unique terroir of the Wallufer Walkenberg vineyard.

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.
