Weingüter Wegeler, Rothenberg Riesling Beerrenauslese Fruchtsüss, 2017

Weingüter Wegeler’s Rothenberg Riesling Beerenauslese Fruchtsüss 2017 is a rare, intensely sweet dessert wine that captures the elegance and precision of German Riesling at its most concentrated. Sourced from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated sites, it offers remarkable purity, lift, and finesse, with a style that balances richness with vibrant acidity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Beerenauslese typically shows a bright golden hue with luminous depth. The nose is highly expressive, with layers of ripe peach, apricot, candied citrus, honey, and delicate floral notes, often joined by a subtle mineral edge that reflects its Mosel origins. On the palate, it is lush and concentrated yet never heavy, delivering sweet fruit, syrupy texture, and a piercing line of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. The finish is long and precise, with excellent aging potential; well-stored bottles can evolve beautifully for decades, developing more complex notes of dried fruit, spice, and petrol.

Production
This wine comes from the Rothenberg vineyard in the Mosel, a steep and highly regarded site known for its slate soils and cool climate, both of which help preserve aromatics and acidity in the Riesling grapes. Beerenauslese is produced from individually selected, overripe berries affected by noble rot, harvested by hand in very small quantities to ensure exceptional concentration. The vinification is typically gentle and precise, preserving the natural sweetness, acidity, and finesse that define this style.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider light decanting only if needed to open up aromas. It pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese, foie gras, or simply as a luxurious wine to enjoy on its own after a meal.
