Gessinger Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Eiswein
Weingut Albert Gessinger
Germany - Mosel   

Richly glossy, Eiswein texture on the nose, vividly tropical array of pineapple, papaya, and honeydew aromas, really vibrant and expressive, with plenty of racy acidity to cut cleanly through the opulent velvety flesh. Dazzling intensity on the palate, with great depth and richness and a tightly wound core of tropical fruit, finishing with sleek, racy acidity, richly concentrated presence, and gripping, baritone length.

Vinification
Eiswein. [ice-wine] Intensely racy dessert wine made from frozen grapes that achieved the same ripeness as BA.
Selective hand picking, like all of our wines, spontaneously fermented and vegan. Pressed full-cluster. Cold maceration for several hours. Fermentation with preferably wild yeasts gives this wine a unique and authentic taste, reflecting the extreme vineyard sites of the Mosel Valley.
