We feature here a stunning Spätlese by what must be the most under-rated Estates in the Mosel

We have drawn the attention of our readers to the quality wines produced by Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler at their Weiser-Künstler Estate for many years now. It may not yet have reached the international acclaim it would deserve, but make no mistake: This is firmly kicking in the premier league.
However, we feel that the Estate outdid itself in 2010, even by their high standards. At all levels, its 2010 wines shine through presence and finesse.
You can read more about this Estate and its successes in 2010 in Part I of our detailed 2010 Vintage Report published in our July Issue (No 16).

This is already quite expressive in style and offers pure flavors of fresh and juicy yellow peach, slate and some yeast. The wine is nicely fruity on the palate, with apricot and exotic fruits. It remains deliciously light with great energy and finesse. The very long finish is incredibly zesty and packed with flavors. This is a beautiful and racy Spätlese. 2016-2030
