Tasting notes
The 2023 Rausch Spätlese is super precise and clear on the elegant and slightly vegetal nose that shows discreet tropical fruit aromas of mango and baby pineapples. The wine is juicy yet refined and very elegant on the palate, moderately sweet, nicely saline and provided with very fine, elegant, salivating acidity. This will be an excellent gastronomic wine in 10 and still in 25 years. There are tart citrus fruit notes on the aftertaste. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

The 2023 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Spätlese opens with myrrh-scented rose, vivid peach and a touch of blood orange. The palate offers clear jelly of peach, an essence of the fruit, gently sweet and serene. That peach deepens and combines with salty rock. The body is incredibly fine; everything is elegant, beautifully clear, luminous, intense and yet so light.
Grosse Lage. Round and satin-smooth with essence of Saar fruit. Approachable already but impatience may not be advisable. Grapefruit juice! (JR)
