Description

Joh. Bapt. Schäfer’s Pittermännchen Spätlese pairs Riesling’s natural freshness with a gentle, inviting sweetness. From slate-rich vineyard soils in Germany’s Nahe region, it is a finely balanced take on the classic Spätlese style.

Tasting Notes
Initially reserved, the nose opens with hints of flint and delicate herbs, followed by yellow kiwi, mango, lime and lemon balm. On the palate, juicy peach and yellow stone fruit meet a lively streak of acidity and slate-like minerality, while a soft creaminess gives the wine a rounded feel without weighing it down. Its bright acidity and balance of sweetness suggest good potential to develop further in the bottle, though no specific drinking window is available.

Production
Pittermännchen’s slate soils are noted for producing particularly fine, light expressions of Riesling, helping this Spätlese retain precision despite its sweetness. Harvesting and vinification details for this bottling have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Its sweetness and refreshing acidity make it a natural match for gently spiced Asian dishes, aromatic curries, pork with fruit-based sauces, or blue cheese. Decanting is not essential, but a little time in the glass can help the initially reserved aromas unfold.
