Weiser-Künstler Riesling Enkircher Ellergrub Auslese 0,375l Bio 2020 white

Weiser-Künstler Riesling Enkircher Ellergrub Auslese 2020 is a concentrated, organically farmed Mosel Riesling bottled in a luxurious 0.375L format—perfect for sharing at the end of a special meal. From one of the Mosel’s steepest and most revered slate vineyards, this Auslese marries intense sweetness with filigree-like precision and minerality. With only a few bottles available, it offers a rare glimpse into the estate’s most delicate, late-harvest work in a top vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Auslese shows a bright yet pale golden hue that will deepen with age. Swirl it and you’ll see the slow, viscous legs that hint at its concentration and residual sweetness. The nose is classic Mosel delicacy layered with depth: ripe stone fruits (white peach, apricot compote) and yellow plum are wrapped in aromas of lime zest, blossom honey, and candied citrus peel. Underneath lies a refined slate-driven minerality, hints of wet stone and a touch of herbal lift—think lemon balm and chamomile. On the palate, the wine is silky and mouth-coating yet incredibly light on its feet, with vibrant acidity cutting through the natural sweetness. Flavors of ripe apricot, baked apple, Meyer lemon and pineapple mingle with notes of acacia honey, quince jelly, and a salty, smoky slate note that lingers on the long, precise finish. The balance between sugar, acidity, and mineral tension is already impressive, but this 2020 Auslese is built for the long haul; properly cellared, it can evolve gracefully for 20+ years, gaining complexity in the form of dried fruits, caramel, and subtle petrol notes.

Production
The Enkircher Ellergrub is a steep, terraced site on the Mosel’s slate-rich slopes, renowned for its old, low-yielding Riesling vines and exceptional sun exposure. Weiser-Künstler farms these parcels organically, working primarily by hand due to the extreme incline of the vineyard, and harvesting is highly selective—especially at Auslese level, where only the ripest, often delicately botrytised berries are chosen in multiple passes. In the cellar, the must is gently pressed and allowed to ferment slowly with indigenous yeasts, typically in stainless steel or traditional Mosel fuders, to preserve clarity and finesse. Fermentation is stopped at an ideal balance of natural sweetness and acidity, and the wine is then carefully matured on its fine lees to build texture and nuance without sacrificing the hallmark transparency of Mosel Riesling.

Food & Serving
This half-bottle Auslese is a superb match for fruit-driven desserts such as apricot tart, lemon meringue pie, peach cobbler, or a classic apple strudel. It also shines with blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton, foie gras, pâté, or spicy-sweet Asian dishes where sweetness and acidity can tame heat and enhance aromatics. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, to keep the wine’s freshness and structure at the forefront. Decanting is generally not necessary, but opening the bottle 15–20 minutes before serving and letting it warm slightly in the glass will allow the aromatics to fully bloom.
