Tasting notes
RS 251.1 g/l, TA 7 g/l. No oak. Bright yellow. A little oily on the nose. Some floral notes and the acidity is just a little obvious and unintegrated at present. I'd wait a little while before drinking this. (JR)

RS 270 g/l, TA 7.4 g/l. Bright gold. Much less nose than the numbers 7 and 8. Very good acidity and a suggestion of elderflowers but quite tight on the finish. I'd age this a bit longer. Lots of both sweetness and acidity. Fresh but not yet resolved. Blossomy. (JR)
Slightly deeper colored than the No 9, the 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese No 10 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen is 8% alcohol and has 289 grams of residual sugar. Awesome notes of chamomile, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and marmalade all flow to a huge, concentrated, thick, yet incredibly fresh and vibrant dessert wine. It a rare wine that can carry this level of sweetness and richness while staying light and graceful on the palate! Bravo.
Aged for 18 months in stainless steel, the 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese No 11 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen is precise and spicy on the concentrated yet highly refined and even subtle nose. Rich and nobly sweet on the palate, this is a lush and highly elegant as well as finessed Welsch with really fine tannins and a lovely freshness. The acidity is vital but integrated, and the wine has remarkable balance even though the residual sugar weighs in at 313 grams per liter. Bottled with 6.5% alcohol.
