2017 Herbert Messmer Mebmer Burrweiler Altenforst Rieslaner Spätlese

Stopped at just 9% alcohol and with correspondingly high residual sugar, this features mango, muskmelon and pineapple on an effusively ripe nose and luscious palate. The feel is flatteringly creamy; what there is of varietally typical acidity is buried beneath the plush folds of fruit and dominant sweetness. Messmer suggested, no doubt correctly, that it needs time.
