    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    There is approximately 10% of botrytis in the blend here which accounts for the more exotic notes of mango, coconut and pineapple on the nose. Very sumptuous and juicy on the palate without being heavy, fresh apricot, red apple, fresher tangerine notes. Super juicy stuff, what a joyous spatlese!

    Yellow plum, acacia blossom and nutmeg on the nose. The subtle passion fruit flavor is enlivened by refreshing acidity. Not so much rich as well-balanced and refreshing, this is a marvelously crafted Spätlese.

    The 2013 Halenberg Riesling Spatlese was harvested with 102 Oechsle 8 days after the Fruhlingsplatzchen Spatlese on October 29th and has deeper and darker shaded aromas when compared to its buoyant sister. Dark and slightly smoked slate aromas intertwine with fully ripe yet delicate pineapple aromas on a bouquet that always retains its precision. On the palate the wine is full-flavored, juicy, dense and has a lovely piquant quality that displays the finest ripe Riesling flavors intermixed with mineral spiciness. The persistent finish is pure, piquant and complex. The wine is still very young though already extremely attractive. It will age at least for two decades.
