Description
Alex most regularly takes this bottling from the steepest terraces at the bottom of the main Apotheke vineyard, from two vineyard sites known as the Mockenlay and the Kaulsbohr. My mouth waters at the prospect……
“The 2020er Alte Reben Trittenheimer Apotheke, as it is referred to on the central part of the label (the reference to Spätlese is only written in small on the right part of the label), was made from fruit harvested at 91° Oechsle on 60-70-year-old vines in the steep Mockenlay and Kaulsbohr part of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (70 g/l). It offers a gorgeously creamy nose made of apricot blossom, vineyard peach, pear, citrusy fruits, starfruit, ginger, and lots of whipped cream. The wine develops the creamy yet focused presence of a light-footed Auslese GK on the palate, where creamy pear mingles with apricot blossom, a touch of honey, coconut, and fine spices. The finish is subtly rich, creamy, and hugely long. 2030-2050” 92 Mosel Fine Wines
