Weingut Robert Zimmer Wawerner Ritterpfad Riesling Spätlese

Very much alive, good acidity and light sugar, peach, medium finish, some bitter caramel. Lovely!

It remains amazing how Riesling can age! This is from a relatively unknown producer that doesn’t exist anymore from a basic vineyard and yet it still alive and kicking after almost 50 years! Medium intensity on the nose with lineoleum, beewax, honey, yellow apple, marmelade. Medium+ acidity, medium sweetness, medium+ finish Bought at an auction for €5…

Leaked with completely soaked cork. Fill level ~8cm below cork. Opened up to check before throwing away and to my surprise it was still alive! Yellow apple, bee wax, rivella, dried apricot, dried apple. High acidity, medium+ finish. Nicely balanced acidity and sweetness Amazing how Riesling can age, even in bad conditions
