2022 Haart Wintricher Ohligsberg Spatlese Rielsing
$ 165.00 AUD
A dazzling, high-wire expression of old vines from the Ohligsberg vineyard with sweetness, acidity, and slate-driven minerality. This is a collector’s Riesling, able to age gracefully for several decades, though drinks gorgeously now. A 98 point treasure!

About the wine
Tasting notes
Delicate yet intense with aromas of white peach, tangerine, lime blossom, and honeysuckle. On the palate, it glides with crystalline precision, juicy citrus and orchard fruits wrapped in a silken texture, balanced by a shimmering spine of acidity and that signature Mosel wet slate minerality. The sweetness is present but perfectly integrated, with an opulent charm and long, mouthwatering finish.

Expert review
Astonishing nose of lilacs, hyacinths and a bunch of flowers that I can’t put names too. The same applies to the incredibly fine and delicate palate that redefines this category of Mosel riesling with unfermented grape sweetness and a stupidly negative reputation. Graceful and quite creamy mid-palate, the enigmatic vibrancy at the finish, all without being demonstrative. Very limited production. Drink or hold.
Riesling
A very special white grape variety that makes aromatic, age worthy and incredibly fine wines that are loved by wine connoisseurs the world over. Made most famous for the exceptional expressions that come out of Germany, Riesling epitomises white wine of elegance, finesse and complexity. From bone dry to intensely sweet, there's a broad spectrum of expressions ranging from lean and crisp flavours of lime, green apple, pear, jasmine and chalky minerality, to richly flavoured and highly perfumed expressions with Thai basil, saffron, ginger, papaya, nutmeg and honey. Incredible wines and alway good value!
