Product Detail

Meulenhof Riesling Auslese 'Erdener Treppchen' (24403) Wine Consultant, Roger Clark: "OH Wow! Lovely Peach- apple aromas- enough "sweetness" to give flavor to the mid-palate and enough acidity to give the finish grip. Not only good with ham and all the goodies, but stellar with spicier chicken or pork dishes. Should age 20-30 years, but drinking it all right away... that would work too." Famed German Importer, Terry Theise describes this wine as "grandiose" - "A thoroughly complete ripe Treppchen fragrance, peach and cox orange pippins; the palate is all that plus sea-salt and sassafras; overtly expressive and generous with a ripe meringue of slate; an extroverted and unfussy Mosel beauty." Wine Spectator reviewed this wine on the Insider: "Shows the cool slate, pear, apple and savory aromas and flavors typical of 2008, backed by vivid acidity. This is complex, with all the elements present. 92 points.
