Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Joel Payne - 01 Feb 15
Sublime aromas of blackcurrant, passion fruit and mango are lifted by fine floral elements. The luscious peach pit fruit and silky texture are framed by finely chiseled minerality. Dense but airy, this is an almost perfect spätlese. Finishes with a stately character, excellent length and the unmistakable wild-fermentation signature of Dr. Manfred Prüm. This was one of the stars of the vintage when it was released and remains so today.

Top producers include Weingut Egon Müller and Joh. Jos. Prüm in Mosel, Weingut Robert Weil in Rheingau, and Dr. Loosen. Weingut Keller in Rheinhessen is noted for both Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). These producers highlight the excellence and tradition of German winemaking.
