Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Germany, Mosel.
Score: . WA.
"The 2015 Riesling Spätlese is juicy, round and piquant. It is a mouth-filling wine . . . . Johannes Selbach calls 2015 a "picture-book vintage." Harvest started September 9 and was finished October 31. "In 2015, there was no need to care about the weather forecast; we could pick whatever and whenever we wanted. There was no rush and the grapes were just perfect—very good looking and gorgeous to taste. Botrytis came very late in 2015 and was perfectly clear." The result is a world-class series of Auslese Rieslings, some great Spätlesen and perhaps the finest TBA from Pinot Blanc that I have ever tasted!" Wine Advocate #230, Apr 2017
Provenance: The Zauberberg Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $160
