2024 Mehringen Blattenberg Riesling Spätlese Weingut Lenhardt Mosel 0,75l

The 2024 Mehringer Blattenberg Riesling Spätlese from Weingut Lenhardt is a single-vineyard Mosel Riesling shaped by steep Devonian slate slopes and a long, cool ripening season. Combining elegant residual sweetness with precise acidity and pronounced mineral tension, it reflects the classic Mosel tradition of producing wines that are both graceful in their youth and capable of developing for many years in bottle.

Tasting Notes
Bright and finely expressive, this Spätlese opens with aromas of yellow apple, vineyard peach, apricot, candied citrus peel and white flowers. Subtle herbal notes and a distinct impression of wet stone and slate add complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, silky sweetness is balanced by lively, precise acidity. Ripe stone fruit and delicate citrus flavours lead into a long, saline finish marked by remarkable mineral freshness. The wine is approachable already, but its inner tension and concentration suggest that it will gain further layers and complexity with age. Enjoy now through approximately 2035 or beyond, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The Mehringer Blattenberg is one of the Mosel’s striking steep-slope vineyards, where Devonian slate stores heat during the day and releases it gradually at night. This helps extend the growing season while preserving aromatic freshness and precise acidity. Weingut Lenhardt works primarily with old Riesling parcels, using sustainable vineyard practices and several stages of selective hand-harvesting. Only physiologically ripe grapes are used, followed by gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and several months of maturation on the fine lees. Predominantly aged in stainless steel, the wine retains clarity, precision and its characteristic slate-driven mineral character while gaining added texture and depth.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Riesling is an excellent match for scallops with beurre blanc, lobster, veal terrine with brioche, foie gras and aromatic Thai cuisine. Its balance of sweetness and acidity also works beautifully with mature Comté or delicate goat’s cheese. It can be enjoyed straight from the bottle, although 20–30 minutes of air in a decanter or large wine glass will help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
