2018 Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Spatlese

Urziger Wurtzgarten

Ürziger Würzgarten produces wines of a completely unique nature. The wines show the typically juicy and exotic fruit of the "spice garden" vineyard, with a rich mouthfeel, a spicy acid tingle and lingering finish.  Auslese [OWS-lay-zuh] means “selected from the harvest,” and is a sweet wine made from very ripe clusters that are about 50 percent affected by botrytis (in the red bucket, above). The resulting wine is dense, intensely flavored and rich on the palate, but balanced by Riesling’s natu-rally brisk acidity.
