Description
As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, the ability to fashion Auslese wines of dancing delicacy is not an easy task. When it is done well, it is absolutely sublime, and far more versatile than most people know. The house penchant for supreme finesse and delicacy seems to have aligned very well with the 2019 Badstube Auslese, for a price that is plain ridiculously low, in my opinion. This has reference point quality and playful prettiness written all over it……
“The 2019er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese was made from fruit harvested at just under 100° Oechsle and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (84 g/l). It offers a beautifully floral nose of vineyard peach, whipped cream, candied grapefruit, tangerine, a hint of toffee, and minty herbs. The wine develops a wonderful light, smooth, and sweet feel on the palate and leaves a refined, light, and juicy feel in the very long and subtly smoky finish. This beautiful Auslese from the Badstube proves magnificently playful, airy, focused, and multi-layered. This is a stunning dessert wine is a huge success! 2029-2069” 95 Mosel Fine Wines
