Welschriesling Auslese 2000
A typical variety of middle and southeastern Europe. The Welschriesling is well knwown for very zippy
and fruity wines with fragrant aromatics and a pithy acidity. This attributes lead to its excellent
reputation not only as high quality dry wine but also as the foundation for making great champagnes as
well as noble dessert wines. The small berries of the Welschriesling reach very high sugar
concentrations and quickly become even sweeter when affected by Botrytis. Nevertheless dessert wines of
this variety are never disharmoniously sweet due to their fine acid structure. Not even at the highest
sugar contents.
Tasting notes: This tender sweet Welschriesling Auslese 2000 is a full-bodied, spicy and aromatic
wine with exceptional harmonic proportions of acidity, sugar and alcohol. It is well suited for cheese,
sweet meals or for a not too sweet dessert. Its not yet too high sugar content makes it also suitable as
an aperitif where the fine acidity prepares your taste for upcoming pleasures.
Drinking suggestions: This wine already gives a lot of drinking pleasure and is ready to drink
now. It can however be stored for a long time because its concentratet constituents have a very positive
effect on the further aging process. Serve at 6-8° C (43-47 F).
