🏰 From the renowned Mosel region, the 2016 Julian Haart Piesporter Schubertslay Riesling Spatlese is an 【explosive wine with sensational balance of exotic fruit, minerals, and super-elegant acidity】. The 2016 vintage in Mosel produced wines with open-knit drinkability and complexity. This Spatlese is made from Riesling grapes from the Schubertslay vineyard, known for its warmth and heat retention. It has an alcohol level of 8%. The nose offers peach, melon, guava, grapefruit, herbs, flowers, and a bit of reduction. Scents of Normandy pear and apple ciders are also noted. On the palate, it has a marvellous interplay between delicate sweetness and vibrant acidity. It's full of texture, full-bodied, very mineral, vibrant, and vital, with the sweetness almost taking a back seat due to its elegance and direction. Flavors include peach, apricot, tropical fruit, honey, lemon, orange, apple, strawberry, cassis, and a hint of maracuja. It has a mouthwateringly scallop-like sweet-saline savor and a long, layered finish with tingling citric brightness. 🍴 Excellent with fruit-based desserts. Also pairs well with Vietnamese grilled pork chops. Its balance of sweetness and acidity makes it versatile. 🥂 Perfect for an aperitif, a dessert wine, or a delightful pairing with lighter, flavorful dishes. Suitable for a summer gathering or a sophisticated tasting. Needs a bit of air or ideally some more time in the cellar. Delightful now, with at least 20 years ahead.
