For a young Mosel riesling Auslese this is remarkably drinkable. Incredibly bright with very focused citrus, lemon balm and caramelized pineapple aromas. Excellent concentration and finesse on the super-clean palate this has a wonderful balance. The finish moves with the precision and strength of prima ballerina over the palate. Barely off-dry for this category. Vegan. Drink or hold. ... More details

The 2022 Riesling Thörnicher Ritsch Auslese was harvested with a small amount of botrytis. The nose is shy, but the palate is sweet and concentrated, almost viscous, with passion fruit freshness, adding tropical allure to a concentration. Fine freshness delineates all. That passion fruit and citrus combo pulls it through to the last and echoes very long. Restrained sweetness at 82g/L of sweetness and 9.2g/L of acidity. (Sweet)

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

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.
