Description
From the GG-plot, the 2019 Altenberg Riesling Auslese is very clear and fresh on the intense and concentrated nose that reveals tonic lime aromas. Round and intense on the palate, this is a very elegant, fresh, piquant and lemon-flavoured Auslese with a generous texture but great precision. This is rich and creamy but piquant and crystalline. It's a gorgeous 2019.
Drink 2026 - 2060

About this wine
Riesling
Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.
