The higher-level Prädikats from Wei-Kü are delicious and rare. There is a tiny bit of the stellar Ellergrub Spätlese; you can taste the love that Wei-Kü has for this genre.
In 2024 this might be the absolute platonic ideal of Spätlese in the Mosel, too cold for botrytis building an incredibly light and elegant wine in this vintage. 65g of RS and 8g of acidity and only 300L made. Of course deeper exotic fruits here but finishing with focus and a lick of minerality that wipes the palate clean.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling Spätlese was made from fruit harvested at 92-93° Oechsle on largely un-grafted vines still trained on single pole and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (68 g/l). It immediately captures one’s attention as it reveals a comparatively rich and aromatic nose of fine exotic fruits, honey, fresh pineapple, William pear, acacia, mirabelle, plum, and cinnamon. The wine coats the palate with some juicy and slightly honeyed fruits yet leaves a fresh and nicely focused and refreshing long finish. There is good extract and presence, without any undue power. The aftertaste still needs to integrate its sweetness, which will happen in a decade or more. | No 71 June 2024 |
