Wine Note
100% Riesling (Sweet White) A sweet and ripe tropical fruit aroma intertwined with flinty flavors and hints of honey leads the 7% alcohol Marienburg Riesling Spätlese to a rich and juicy, well-concentrated, almost velvety textured sweet palate (thanks to its generous botrytis fruit), which is structured by a delicate acidity and the stimulating piquancy in the finish, revealing a really nice and animating grip. There is no need (though enough potential) to store this excellent Spätlese for more than 20 years. - By Wine Advocate -

Pairing
Pair with spicy cuisine (Mexican, Middle Eastern, Thai, Indian) or dessert (tropical fruits, gorgonzola, mild blue cheeses).
