2018 Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Spätlese

Harvested with less than 5% botrytis, the 2018 Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Spätlese offers a clear, darker toned slate and peppery earthy bouquet with some tropical fruit flavors such as just ripe mango or guava. On the palate, this is a lush and sweet but crystalline, very elegant and stimulatingly spicy Spätlese with good grip and mouthwatering salinity. It was bottled with 82 grams of residual sugar, which you can't taste, "especially not in 10 or 15 years", as managing director Julia Lübcke adds.
