2021 Weingut Stein Riesling & Gewürztraminer Spätlese

Tasting note

Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet offers rose petals, ripe apricots, peach, and nectarines. Acidity is on the lower end while the sweetness has a fruity profile with a taste of nectarines and ripe oranges but it leans towards sweet candy because it’s not offset by a more prominent acidity. Simple off-dry Spätlese with an aromatic profile for those who like fruity wines without much acidity. For me personally, it lacks complexity.

Drink through 2024.
