Wine information
The so-called Lene of the Pfingstbach once gave the Oestricher vineyard its name. The vineyard is defined by clayey loess with quartzite veins containing iron oxide, which is why it used to be called Eiserberg. The early morning mist from the flowing water at the foot of the vineyard always provided early morning mist. This now spreads botrytis, which is why mainly noble sweet Rieslings are produced from this site. The wine has 238.8 grams of residual sugar with 8.1 grams of acidity. The wine was matured in stainless steel.

deep straw yellow
Nose
The Oestricher Lenchen has given the Kühns wonderful residual sweet and noble sweet wines in 2018. The Beerenauslese opens with a potpourri of very different aromas. Kumquats and grapefruits with a hint of smoke, botrytis, pineapple, quince and lots of ripe stone fruit combine with a very fine, quickly fading musky note.
Palate
On the palate, the Beerenauslese is floatingly light and yet full of substance. The rich, ripe, yellow fruit is countered by tart citrus aromatics and fine acidity. A slight saltiness leads to this wine having a mouth watering effect. Creamy, the Beerenauslese from the Lendchen glides over the tongue, lining the entire mouth and even if you have been drinking the Riesling for a long time, it remains present on the palate for minutes.
