Altenberg Riesling Spatlese Von Othegraven 2017

Von Othegraven's Altenberg Riesling Spatlese is a particularly interesting wine, produced in purity with Riesling grapes from the Upper Moselle. The term Spatlese in German indicates the late harvest, in fact these grapes are left to ripen longer on the vine. In this wall vineyard, the steepest in the area, the soil is well drained and broken down into slate. The rigorously hand-picked and selected grapes remain to ferment for a long time in stainless steel tanks, while the wine rests for a few months before bottling and marketing. This winery makes Riesling its passion by making dry wine and using only indigenous yeasts, so much so that its wines express their full potential only in the long term. The complex and well-balanced Altenberg Riesling Spatlese is a product to try. He already has a good structure as a youngster, but reveals his full potential only after a few years. Several.
