ALTENBERG Auslese

The starting point for our Altenberg Auslese was meticulously hand-selected, botrytis-affected berries with a magnificent must weight of 106° Oechsle. A multifaceted aroma with precise, botrytis-influenced dried fruit notes of raisins and figs, as well as exotic aromas of mango, mandarin peel, and baby pineapple. The finest blossom honey lends the bouquet an impressive concentration and refined elegance. On the palate, this Auslese presents itself with tremendous power, an almost overwhelming concentration and abundance of fruit. The dense, oily texture is perfectly balanced by the vibrant acidity, which provides breathtaking freshness and tension to this elixir, leading into a complex, lingering finish that lasts for minutes.

The wine is a revelation when paired with mature cheese, fruity desserts, or creamy sweets such as crème brûlée.

ALTENBERG | VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Like a monumental cliff face, the Kanzemer Altenberg vineyard stands in perfect south-southeast orientation. As in all Othegraven vineyards, Devonian slate is the defining element, in the Altenberg with traces of iron oxide. A noble wine grows here, mineral and warm at the same time, with inner grandeur and utterly self-contained.
