Intense scents of grapefruit joined by florals. In the mouth perfectly ripe fruit mixed with saline and minerals. The wine’s most memorable feature was it’s long and lingering finish — 6 years ago

The condition of the bottle was remarkable - the wine was fresh and crisp, like the day it was bottled. Bright with a tinge of green, no signs of TDN at all. Only the mellowed acidity gave any indication of age. Insane!

Despite all that, the wine itself was rather disappointing. Not really complex or deep, and finish was quite short. I guess it did come from a tough vintage. However, it had the classic Grunhaus lightness - drinking more like a kabi than spat. In conclusion, an easy fun drink that fell below expectations. — 6 years ago

Exact wine on Delectable is described as "Spatlese Riesling" instead of Riesling Spatlese, so wines are archived separately. — 10 years ago

A battle within the glass. Must resist guzzling as the tart acid & bright citrus are making it way too easy to crush. Beautiful spring day, beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 10 years ago
