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

The pale skinned fruits of the Riesling grapevine have been grown in and around Germany's Rhine Valley for centuries, and contributed much to the country's wine culture. Today, Riesling grapes are grown and processed in several countries around the world, where they are prized for their ability to grow well in colder climates, and their unique flavors and characteristics. Riesling grapes produce an impressive array of wines, including fine semi sweet and dessert wines, to excellent dry white wines and sparkling varieties, all which allow the grape to shine through as a premier example of an excellent white wine varietal. One of the things which makes Riesling such a special grape is the fact that it is highly 'terroir expressive', meaning that the features of the land it is grown on can come across well in the flavors and aromas in the wine. As such, it isn't unusual to find flavors of white stone, or smoky ash-like notes in a fine Riesling alongside the more usual orchard fruit flavors more commonly associated with good white wines.

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.
