Pure fruit character, no aromatic flaw, mint, verbena, lemon, orange pekoe tea. Delivers on mid-full weight and cleans the palate. Energetic tension. Pretty acid RS balance. Honey and camphor.

2015. The Oven has been our go to restaurant for the last 30+ years and that they continue building a huge cellar of awesome wines is a big bonus! My daughter is still learning wine and I thought we would show her the range of styles in just one region of Germany, the Mosel. This spätlese was the middle of a trocken GG and a beerenauslese that we paired with a variety of mild to spicy dishes. As I expected, this wine with its residual sugar and high acidity paired great across the entire range. My daughter’s favorite.
