Tasting notes:

'The attributes of the Auslese are clarity, light heartedness and concentration on the varie- ty. Mineral and yet overly fruity. Riesling in pure culture. Also in the vintage 2016 we had perfect conditions for a great Auslese, which presents high concentrated fruit aromas with a incredible lively acidity and a beautiful freshness.' winemakers notes.  

About the wine:

Complex, this is the best description of the soil structure in the much vaunted site in the Mittelhaardt; typical sandstone weathering soils with more dense clay and sand layers, partially offset with amounts of limestone. Basalt rock provides the vines with the necessary heat and mineral character. A massive limestone plate at a depth of approx. 2 m provides a very efficient water supply. The sum of all factors is the reason for the power and length of the wines from the Ungeheuer.

The harvest entailed very select hand picking in the middle of October 2016, the vinification was equally careful with a short standing time for the mash, then gentle pressing. Careful fermentation and maturation in stainless steel on on full lees until June 2017 without any fining or other technical measures.
