The Rieslaner Auslese by Ellermann-Spiegel from the Palatinate was vinified by Frank Spiegel according to all the rules of art. This sweet wine shows a light golden yellow in the glass and seduces the nose with intense tropical aromas of passion fruit and lychee, complemented by candied fruits and aromatic flowers such as acacia blossom and jasmine.

On the palate, the Ellermann-Spiegel Rieslaner Auslese is wonderfully aromatic, complex, juicy and long. The vital fruit acid perfectly balances the lush sweetness and gives the wine a beautiful lightness.

Vinification of Ellermann-Spiegel Rieslaner Auslese The Rieslaner Auslese by Ellermann-Spiegel was vinified from grapes that were perfectly matured

at the time of the late onset of botrytis and have particularly

concentrated

aromas and sweetness. The production of sweet wines is a high art, with a lot of effort and risk. The grape material must be fully ripe and healthy, the climate optimal and it takes time. Drying the berries reduces the yield to a minimum, but concentrates the grape ingredients and flavourings, resulting in wines with high concentration and internal density.

The Rieslaner Rieslaner grape variety

was bred as a cross between Riesling and Silvaner as early as 1921, but was then forgotten and only rediscovered in 1950. Since the end of the 1950s, this grape variety has been on the list of varieties. Today Rieslaner is mainly grown in Franconia and the Palatinate. The Rieslaner tends to have a high acid content, which is why it is preferably vinified as a late harvest or selection
