Each year in september the VDP members gather in Trier to auction their 'best' barrels of wine. We have been attending since 2010 and are delighted to bring a few bottles back to sell in Bordeaux
 
The Apotheke Riesling Spätlese 2022, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, was made from fruit picked at 88° Oechsle on un-grafted
vines in the central part of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (75 g/l). It still shows light reduction at first but it
quickly gives way to a very complex and captivating nose of smoke, earthy spices, vineyard peach, candied grapefruit, orange blossom, acacia,
anise, and a hint of toffee. The wine has great presence and finesse on the palate, which shows a gorgeous energetic side. There is some richness,
but it is already very well integrated into the wine. The finish is full of zest and fine spices and proves mouthwatering. This is a splendid Spätlese,
with both complexity and zesty lift. 2030-2047
