Produced from grapes grown in the vineyards in and around the small village of Piesport, which is located on the north bank of the Mosel river. Michelsberg is classified as a [Grosslage], as it is harvested from a collection of individual plots. The term Spätlese literally means late harvest, which indicates that the grapes have attained a high level of ripeness. The increased level of grape sugar allows us to produce a wine with greater richness and body, as well as a higher level of residual sweetness. Chapitalisation (adding sugar to enhance fermentation) is not permitted, as the wines are produced strictly from their natural grape sugars.
Tasting Notes
Well structured, while remaining crisp and spry, this Spätlese offers a delightful combination of tropical citrus, pear and green apple notes, along with a trace of mineral in the pleasantly sweet finish.
Serving Suggestion
Excellent on its own or try with smoked pork chops (Kassler Rippchen) or honeybaked ham. A perfect accompaniment to spicy Asian cuisine, like Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp or Hunan Chicken. The touch of sweetness stands up to, and complements these types of foods. Serve chilled.
