Wine Description
This exciting Spätlese is loaded with complex fruits, great acidity and perfect balance. It brings forward the full character and intensity of flavors that a Spätlese can produce. With lively acid, it leaves the feeling behind if the grape is freshly put in the mouth. It has an amazing amount of natural sugars and is full of honey and complex fruits and the body is bold and round. With excellent balance of fruit, extract and acid, this Spätlese has wonderful viscosity and is great for casual drinking with friends, as an aperitif or at a dinner with meat. Its wonderful crisp, refreshing feature also makes it pleasant on a hot summer's day or in a Jacuzzi. |

Karlheinz Weis Estate
The two-hundred-year family-owned estate has been in the hands of Karlheinz Weis since 2001, when he picked up the production from his father. Like most Mosel wineries, the estate produces mainly Riesling, followed by Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Dornfelder and M¨¹ller-Thurgau. Its vineyard Burglay Felsen is Zell's top site on the southern side of the Mosel. The ground consists of slate with a higher percentage of finer soil and is very steep with inclines of up to 70%. At the top of the slope lies a forest, which retains much needed moisture. During dry periods, water from the forest floor is released into the sub-soils of the vineyards below to reduce vine-stress during drought periods. This site mainly produces Riesling.
Karlheinz Weis has already won many awards in both state and federal competitions and is considered at the forefront of a group of up-and-coming young Mosel vintners.
