Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Auslese 2019
Already in the fragrance highly elegant, the Kanzemer Altenberg Auslese shows cool aromas of red berry fruit, elderflower, candied pear and delicate floral elements. On the palate sweet fruit surrounded by the finest noble rot. Dominant and very noble acidity. Juicy vibrating elegance, concentrated mineral, deep and complex. In the finish very dense with soft baroque sweetness and rich minerality. This very fine selection is only at the beginning of a great development, but should confirm the reputation of the vintage and the house for decades to come. Perfect!

Saar Region
The Saar is the largest tributary of the Mosel. The winegrowing area extends from Serrig to the mouth of the Saar River at Konz, as the crow flies about twelve kilometers upstream. The acreage of the Saar region is rather small with about 750 hectares. Nevertheless, there are numerous excellent vineyards, some on steep slopes.
