1999 rheingau riesling spätlese balthasar
Since 1870, the Ress family own one of the most important estates in Hattenheim, in the geographical centre of Germany´s famed Rheinga wine region. Stefan Ress selected the finest Riesling grapes from his vineyards in Hattenheim, Oestrich and Geisenheim, for this splendid 1999 Spätlese. It´s pale, lemony colour gives way to a ripe peach and grapefruit aroma, and the rich concentration of fruit on the palate is balance by an attractive freshness on the finish.

The Hattenheim vineyards form the heart of the Balthasar Ress estate (founded 1870) in the best part of the Rheingau. The 2001 vintage was superb, the greatest since 1959, producing wines with magnificent flavour and personality. The lively greeny-yellow colour leads to a nose of white peaches, while the palate shows ripe citrus fruits and a touch of honey, lifted by a refreshing acidity.
