Tasting notes

The 2019 Riesling Auslese Oberhäuser Brücke offers a bright fresh and very delicate raspberry and yellow plum aroma on the stunningly precise and finessed nose. On the palate, this is a juicy, highly elegant, refined and digestible Auslese with tension, piquancy, grip and salinity. This Auslese is well-concentrated but not overly sweet and almost impossible to mediate with. You simply drink it too fast. The finish is very subtle, clear, fresh and long. A gorgeous Auslese. Tasted as a sample in April, it was bottled in May 2020 (AP 16 20).
