Tasting notes
The freshness and concentration of this super-elegant riesling literally take your breath away. Diamond-like brilliance and super fine peach, citrus and tropical flower aromas. Some sweetness, though you barely notice it, and at the finish there is stunning mineral freshness. You could drink it now, but in five, 10, 20 and more years it will also be spectacular.

Tasted as a sample (before the official approval of the AVA), the 2015 Riesling Schlossberg Vendange Tardive displays a very clear and elegant bouquet of super ripe, but healthy raisin flavors intermixed with flinty aromas. This VT is so clear and stimulating on the palate and reveals a great, great finesse and delicacy with finest minerals, grip and tension. The tension and grip in the finish is really remarkable and the length outstanding. This is one of the finest VT I can remember and it comes from one of the best grand crus of Alsace. The sweetness of 71 grams per liter is perfectly integrated, thanks to the prominent mineral flavors.
This wine has not yet been accorded the agrément for grand cru status. RS 72 g/l. Super-intense – floral and spices. Rich, generous and still beautifully fresh with a fine, almost floral, perfume as well as pure citrus. And still fresh on the long finish. (JH_
