Villa Huesgen Riesling Auslese Enkircher Zeppwingert Edelsuss is produced from grapes grown on the steep slopes of the Enkircher Zeppwingert vineyard in the Starkenburger hills. The vineyard is known for its iron-rich quartzite soil and consists primarily of old, ungrafted vines with low yields. This results in very small grapes, yet incredibly flavorful. The grapes are foot-crushed in the winery, after which the juice remains in contact with the skins for several hours. The grapes are then pressed, and fermentation takes place. To give the wine a sweet taste, fermentation is stopped before all the sugars have converted into alcohol. The juice then remains in contact with the yeast cells for a long time, giving the wine added complexity.
This Riesling Auslese Enkircher Zeppwingert Edelsuss is an impressive wine with a wonderful aroma. Notes of exotic fruit, honey, white flowers, and a hint of spice complement each other, making this wine very inviting. The perfect balance between sweetness and acidity is clearly evident on the palate. This wine is complex and creamy in texture. It creates a soft mouthfeel and a long finish. An elegant wine that pairs beautifully with desserts due to its sweet character.
