Schloßberg Rieslaner Trockenbeerenauslese 2017 375ml – Odinstal

Color

Brilliant golden yellow in colour with a subtle oily viscosity, the wine is clear and bright.

Nose

Although his youth makes him seem introverted at first, it is immediately clear that there is a great deal to discover here.

First of all, a battalion of exotic dried fruits trumps in all splendor. Mango, apricot, fig and banana chips marry devotedly. The perfume of fresh passion fruit and guava, as well as quince jelly and ripe wild strawberry add to the extraordinarily fruit opulence. With time and air, flavours of white chocolate, Turkish honey with pistachios and bee sting reveal themselves.

And you never want to stop smelling this glass....

Palate

Majestic, opulent and yet compact and stocky, the 2017 Rieslaner Trockenbeerenauslese from Odinstal's Wachenheimer Schlossberg immediately plays its trump card on the palate - sustained power, grandeur and concentration paired with fragility, feather-light finesse and joie de vivre in major. The drinkable equivalent of the goosebump-inducing sound quality of virtuoso playing on a Stradivari violin. Despite its youthfulness, the wine is wonderfully generous and nestles in the throat, but at the same time tickles it with grippy, racy acidity, which refreshingly teases the magnificently presented aromatic splendour and fruity sweetness. Thus, a brilliant arc of tension is formed, with the echo of a perpetual motion machine.

A wine for eternity.
