Manfred Bickelmaier 2016 Oestricher Lenchen Spätlese

Riesling (Rheingau)

Bright, fresh and smooth on the palate, this wine has excellent breadth. Rife with flavor, this Spätlese is primed with tangerine peel, persimmon, custard sauce and golden raisins. Juicy with a solid core of lingering fruit, this Riesling bursts with primary fruit hoisted by crisp and tingly yet integrated acidity that finely balances this sweeter, medium-bodied wine. This should age well in the next decade if its youthful charm can be resisted. Drink now–2024.
