This Weihnachts Wein (“Christmas Wine”) is a beautiful sweet riesling spätlese from the Rheinhessen. Explosive citrus aromas waft from the glass and follow on the palate. This is an easy drinking, fresh white wine perfect of celebrating the season.
As far back as 1780, the Windisch family has lived in the village of Mommenheim near Nierstein and Mainz. Fritz Windisch was the first to start estate-bottling wine in the 1920s. Now his son Guenter carries on the family tradition.
For the spatlese, grapes are late-harvested according to pradikatswein rules. After the addition of yeast, the fermentation is stopped via temperature and filtration while some residual sugar remains. This spatlese is aged in a combination of neutral oak casks and stainless steel tanks.
