Schloss Vollrads Riesling Auslese

​Schloss Vollrads is one of the oldest Wine Estates in the world. Wine sales have been documented as early as 1211 and ever since. They are solely focused on producing Riesling wines at the vineyard, which totals 200 acres. It is their goal to produce Rieslings of highest quality which exhibit the individuality and complexity of the Riesling grape as well as the authentic characteristics of the soil. This passion for quality is shared by each member of Schloss Vollrads, from the vineyard, to the cellar, to the Vinothek.

Riesling Auslese: Schloss Vollrads Riesling Auslese 2010 has only 7.3 per cent alcohol, making it ideal as either a lunch or afternoon wine. Selected bunches of the ripest fruit have given a subtle, candied aroma. The light, delicate body of dried apricots and jellied fruit had an astonishing fragility yet extraordinary concentration. This was an outstanding example of German Riesling. - Suzanne Brocklehurst, BT Wine Challenge 2014 (2010 vintage)
