2017 Müller-Catoir Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Auslese

This veritable fruit salad of a wine features pink grapefruit, banana, quince and pineapple. The palate impression is luscious, subtly oily and almost buttery, while also supplying pushback to its enormous sweetness by way of grapefruit peel piquancy and pineapple core tang. Hints of hazelnut paste and smoky black tea add to the complexity of a soaringly sustained finish.
