Leitz Weingut Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Spätlese

Each sip of this wine is a delightfully rounded sensual pleasure, an unctuous, creamy mouthful of honeydew melon, peach and mango balanced with a citrus acidity and underpinned by a deep mineral base.  The rich texture comes from the late harvested Spätlese grapes which bring a whopping 79 g/l of residual sugar but do not fear that this wine is too sweet – it is perfect.  It can however serve as a light alternative to a dessert wine, ideal to serve with a rich blue cheese.
