Schmitt Sohne Riesling Auslese

Schmitt Sohne Riesling Auslese - German Wine

This exquisite German Riesling is an Auslese, a designation signifying a late-harvest wine of exceptional quality and sweetness, originating from the renowned vineyards of Germany.

ABV: 8.5%

Germany, Mosel

Riesling Grapes

This Auslese is fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving its vibrant fruit character and delicate acidity without the influence of oak.

Staff Note: "A phenomenal value-for-money late-harvest Riesling that offers complex sweetness and acidity at an incredible price point."

The Tasting Experience

Nose: Initial impressions burst with fragrant notes of ripe peach, apricot, and a hint of honey, complemented by delicate floral undertones.

Palate: Experience a luscious, full-bodied sweetness balanced by racy acidity. Flavors of candied apricot, white peach, and subtle minerality dance on the palate, creating a rich yet refreshing mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and lingering, offering a clean, bright acidity that cuts through the sweetness, leaving a pleasant sensation of honeyed stone fruit and a touch of minerality.

Serving & Mixology Guide

How to Enjoy: Best served chilled.

Top Wine Cocktails: Riesling Spritzer: Combine chilled Riesling with sparkling water and a twist of lemon for a light, effervescent aperitif. Spiced Wine Punch: Gently warm the Riesling with mulling spices and a touch of brandy for a festive seasonal drink. Riesling Sangria: Mix with fresh fruit, a splash of brandy, and a bit of citrus juice for a refreshing, fruit-forward punch.

Occasion: Ideal for casual sipping, entertaining, and gifting.

Gourmet Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with spicy Asian cuisine, pork dishes, and rich cheeses.

Pro-Tip: Try this with a spicy Szechuan stir-fry to beautifully balance the heat and sweetness.

Why It Stands Out The Competitive Edge
