Picked at 97° Oechsle, the Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese Alte Reben offers a clear, fresh and spicy-mineral bouquet of crushed (red) slate intertwined with pure, highly refined, rather discreet fruit on the nose. Round and piquant on the palate, with a very elegant, refined yet lush character, this is another perfectly balanced and super salivating Auslese from Christian Hermann’s ancient higher-altitude plot of the prestigious Prälat. The acidity is frisky, the fruit perfectly interwoven and the finish stimulating, clear and fresh but long and always delicate. Extraordinary! 7.5% stated alcohol. 600 bottles made. Natural cork.
