Weingut AJ Adam Hofberg Spätlese 2018

Production

The Riesling grapes are sourced from selected plots of vines (average age 45 years) around the village of Dhron. After picking in mid-October the grapes are gently pressed, then typically around half the wine is vinified in stainless steel and half in Fuder (large, traditional oak casks) - with ageing on lees.

Tasting notes

There’s fabulous honeyed fruit ripeness, and with five months of lees ageing, the wine has a beautifully creamy, textural quality in the centre. It’s a very eye-catching wine, lean, tense and vibrant at first, opening quite exotically in the middle. Bone dry and very focussed but totally calm and approachable.
