Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese 2005: Wine Review

Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese 2005 really impressed me. If you can get past the long, hard-to-pronounce German description, I recommend stopping by to get this bottle from the LCBO before they run out of this vintage. 

Type: White

Vintage: 2005

Origin: Rheingau, Germany

Winery: Schloss Reinhartshausen

Variety: Riesling

Vineyard: Erbacher Schlossberg

Size: 750 mL bottle 

Alcohol: 11.0%

My Score: 90/100

 

This Riesling has a perfect balance of flavours. It is slightly acidic and refreshing, but also has a citrus/orange like sweetness balanced with a tangy aftertaste left on your palate. Well-balanced with great acid.

 

I just bought my sister a bottle of this for her birthday and I'm really looking forward to enjoying a glass this weekend.
