Tasting notes
The 2016 Ohligsberger Spätlese is very intense and fruity on the nose, provided with ripe Riesling and wet slate flavors. Round, lush and mouthfilling, this is a beautifully fine, slatey and enormously stimulating Spätlese that delivers great drinking pleasure. This is terribly pure, vital and slatey—a picture-book Spätlese from the Mosel. Tasted March 2016.

Picked at just one degree higher must weight than the corresponding Kabinett but from later-hanging, less shaded and more aromatically evolved fruit, this delivers scents and juicy flavors of apple and white peach garlanded in honeysuckle. The silken palate offers a seductive abundance of inner-mouth perfume while suggesting crushed stone suffusion. An oceanic wave of mineral salts rises to greet the luscious fruit on a buoyant, soothing yet stimulating and refreshing finish.
