About this product
Sachsen Riesling Spätlese from the Elbe's slate terraces — a late harvest style with residual sweetness balanced by northern acidity. Peach, apricot, slate mineral, and lime with 15g/L residual sugar providing body without cloying weight. The eastern German equivalent of a Mosel Spätlese at a fraction of the price.
