Made from individually selected, intensely concentrated grapes, this noble-sweet Riesling combines extraordinary richness with the vibrant acidity that gives great German dessert wines their remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its maturity and concentration. Its expressive nose offers layers of ripe peach, apricot, honey and candied fruit, with a subtle mineral character adding lift and complexity. On the palate, it is richly sweet and full-bodied, yet beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity. A long, persistent finish brings notes of honeyed stone fruit and slate-like minerality.\n\nNow mature and highly enjoyable, this 2005 Trockenbeerenauslese still has excellent cellaring potential when stored properly. Its combination of sweetness, acidity and concentration allows it to develop further in bottle for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the steep, slate-rich slopes of the Bernkasteler Doctor, a historic Mosel vineyard renowned for producing finely balanced Rieslings. Trockenbeerenauslese is made from individually hand-selected, shrivelled grapes affected by noble rot, which concentrates their sugars, flavours and acidity. The wine is produced in small quantities and matured to preserve the harmony between its intense sweetness, aromatic depth and mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This elegant dessert wine is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, apricot tart and pâtisserie, while its acidity also pairs beautifully with blue cheese or mature washed-rind cheeses. It can be enjoyed without decanting; opening it shortly before serving is generally sufficient, although a brief period in the glass will allow its aromas to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1882, Wegeler is one of the historic names of the Mosel and Rheingau, with a long-standing reputation for producing refined Rieslings from distinguished vineyard sites. The estate has been closely associated with the classic wines of the Mosel, including the renowned Bernkasteler Doctor, and is recognised for expressing the balance, precision and mineral character of these steep slate vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wegeler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617094357329,"sku":"GWCOM-AR001051","price":285.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/AR001051.png?v=1787088865","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/wegeler-bernkasteler-doctor-riesling-trockenbeerenauslese-2005-0375l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
