Merchant's description

Weingut Wegeler Geheimrat J Riesling Spätlese Trocken 2012 is a Riesling from the Rheingau region of Germany. The estate`s flagship dry Riesling, this is a Spätlese (late harvest) that is fermented to dry, with grapes sourced from prime plots across the estate`s holdings, including vineyards in Oestrich and Rüdesheim. It presents a complex bouquet of ripe peach, citrus peel and crushed stone, with a subtle note of honey. The palate is powerful and concentrated, with a zesty acidity and a precise mineral core.
