Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese - Weinhaus Steffen

In the glass, the Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese from Weinhaus Steffen presents a brilliantly shimmering light yellow color. The bouquet of this white wine from the Moselle captivates with notes of quince, apple, pear and black cherry. If we trace the aromatics further, forest floor and sun-warmed rock come into play.

The Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese can rightfully be described as particularly fruit-driven and velvety, having been vinified with a pleasantly sweet flavor profile. Light-footed and multi-layered, this dense and light white wine presents itself on the palate. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this storable white wine from the wine-growing region of the Moselle finally inspires with good length. Again, hints of morello cherry and plum show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the slate-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Weinhaus Steffen Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese

The basis for the elegant Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese from the Mosel are grapes from the Riesling grape variety. In the Moselle, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of slate. After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest way. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
