2014 Grans Fassian Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spatlese, Mosel, Germany
Regular price $45.99
The Trittenheimer Apotheke Vineyard is located in the heart of the Mosel region in Germany, and is known for producing some of the finest Riesling grapes in the world. The steep slopes of the vineyard create ideal growing conditions for Riesling, with the rocky slate soil retaining the warmth of the sun and the cool air from the nearby river Mosel.
Spatlese is a German term meaning "late harvest," indicating that the grapes are harvested later than usual, resulting in a more mature and flavorful wine. This process leads to a natural elevated level of sweetness, giving the wine a fuller body with a delicate sweetness that is perfectly balanced with acidity. You'll be able to savor the complex and unique flavors of honey, peach, and apple that have developed over the years.
