August Kesseler Rudesheimer Bischofsberg Riesling Spatlese Gold Capsule

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1925

There is only one Spatlese from the Bischofsberg, but due to the high (botrytis-free) ripeness of the fruit, it was bottled as 2004 Rudesheimer Bischofsberg Riesling Spatlese Gold Capsule. Aromas of grapefruit, pear, and quince usher in a creamy, rich mouthful of the aforementioned fruits that is delicate, yet spreads flavor all across the back of the palate. This might not be the last word in complexity but it has enormous sheer sensual appeal. Not many years ago, August Kesseler was vinifying – in addition to the Pinot Noirs for which he has long been known – almost entirely dry Rieslings that were seldom seen outside Germany. Nowadays, he is reveling in residually sweet Rieslings and has launched an aggressive export program with the intention of becoming a major force in the U.S. market. Given the amazing price/quality rapport of some of the wines I tasted, he should succeed brilliantly in that endeavor.Various importers including: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel.
