Golden yellow. Distinguished aromas of pineapple, blackcurrant and nutmeg, with a vague hint of smoky botrytis. The rich, buttery guava fruit is nicely accentuated by saline minerality. Pure, crisp and decidedly rich, this elegantly concentrated Riesling finishes with impressive length and is certainly one of the top Ausleses of the vintage. ... More details

The 2013 Dorsheimer Pittermännchen Riesling Auslese is quite offensive on the nose and does not hesitate to tell you where it is coming from. The aromas are rather tropical, displaying pineapple flavors along with slatey tones. Deliciously piquant and mineral on the palate this is a filigreed and delicate wine of great elegance and finesse. Its finish is piquant and salty and, thus, its sweetness well hidden in the piquant and mineral nature of this great Auslese.

green grapes

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes have produced some of the finest wines of the Old World over the past couple of centuries, and are quickly becoming much loved by New World audiences as their influence continues to spread across the globe. They are generally grown and cultivated in colder climates, as is found in their native Germany, where they have the remarkable ability to pick up and express interesting features of their terroir, or the ground on which they are grown. As such, wine enthusiasts generally find Riesling one of the more interesting white grape varietals, as they produce aromas which are highly floral and perfumed alongside both fruit flavors and refreshing notes of stone and alpine water, depending on where they have been grown. Furthermore, Riesling grapes produce a large variety of fine wines, from still to sparkling, sweet to dry, and wineries which work with this grape have long since been experimenting with both frozen and rotten grapes to find out just how versatile and exciting this varietal can be.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
