Tasting notes
Like the corresponding Kabinett, this projects luscious fruit – here apple, cherry and honeydew – coolingly laced with mint and basil for an exhilaratingly penetrating nose and a luscious, expansive, buoyant, subtly creamy palate. Decadent lily perfume adds allure that continues inner-mouth. The apple and cherry take on a jellied aspect white retaining parallel freshness in a finish that also features stony, floral and herbal layers and both soothes and stimulates.

The 2015 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese displays ripe fruit and a flinty flavor on the nose that also indicates a certain deepness. Sweet, lush and salty-piquant, this is a slightly creamy but finessed and finely racy Spätlese with a well-structured, persistent finish.
