Country: Germany / Rheingau
Variety: Riesling
Winery: Weingut Hans Bausch / Hattenheimer Hassel Auslese
Intensely fragrant, this honey-sweet auslese wafts of ripe yellow peaches and caramelized sugar. Tropical mango, pineapple and melon collide on the palate before falling neatly in line against a strike of high-toned acidity. The finish is luxuriously long, peppered by a faint dusting of saffron. It’s a stunner already but should shine brightly for decades to come.
