Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling 2022

"The wine is fine, fruity, and rich in body. It's a play between fruit, bouquet, body, sweetness and zest and it has a longevity which you only find very rarely in wines like this one." —winemaker

"Peach, apricot, apple, as well as citrus fruit and herbs are typical features of the aroma of our young and dry wines. Our delicately and subtly sweet wines show nuances of quince and tropical fruit, and the ripest of them will display honey and raisin flavors, often backed by a touch of salty minerality, and always balanced by crunchy acidity. These wines are long lived and develop additional complexity through secondary and tertiary aromas that enrich the taste spectrum." —winemaker

"Peach is the ultimate partner in crime. It’s the friend that has an invitation to a secret party that you would not otherwise have an invitation to. The kind of gratification and release that you are awarded when you let yourself be free to absorb the simple pleasures of life—that is what this wine can offer. It’s taking a bite of the ripest summer peach and willingly letting the juices drip down your chin to avoid interruption from fully enjoying the satisfaction tantalizing your taste buds. In our years of working with this site, we have found its transformative prowess to be a perfect example of the power of Riesling." —winemaker

"Riesling estate bottled from old vines unites all particularities of Nik Weis: grown on different kinds of slate, this wine comes from old vineyards in the Saar valley and was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks in order to keep the fine and elegant body. The nose is rather fruity and floral, while the elegant mouthfeel is dominated by fresh and fine flavors of ripe stone fruits such as peaches and yellow plums. The minerality of the slate soils delivers a salty and spicy character that goes perfectly along with the lively acidity and delicate medium sweetness." —winemaker
