Fresh, fruity, with rich lemon and lime character, and excellent balancing acidity. Guntrum is very good at making modestly-priced, ripe, well-balanced wines, and his family have over 350 years experience doing so!
This particular Spätlese is on the sweet side, with 4.5% residual sugar, but that sweetness is well balanced by really vibrant acidity. The nose exudes powerful orange blossom, honey and citrus aromas. And the floral aspect to the nose is incredible! The palate is also beautiful, bringing rich peach, tangerine, lychee, pear, lemon and honey. The complexity is off the charts and yet it’s all harmonious and elegant. The finish is incredibly long, with peach flavors mingling with floral notes that linger for ages. This is a fantastic wine.
