Schlossberg Riesling Vendanges Tardives 2005 from Domaine Weinbach is a sweet white from a prestigious Alsace Grand Cru site. This wine is produced from late-harvested grapes, allowing for the concentration of sugars and aromatic complexity through noble rot. The 2005 vintage captures a luscious profile of apricot nectar, honey, dried exotic fruits and a piercing smoky minerality. Despite its richness, the wine is balanced by a vibrant acidic spine that ensures it remains fresh and well-structured. It possesses a long, saline finish that highlights the unique character of the Schlossberg’s steep, granite-based vineyards.
