Hochheimer Stielweg Spätburgunder Weissherbst Eiswein--Vintage 1992 Erstmalig im Hochheim - grosse Rarität
0e.155, acidity 12.2, res.sugar 135, alcohol 8 A remarkable wine with a very explicit label. Starting from scratch: Hochheimer, from Hochheim; Stielweg, the vineyard; Spätburgunder, the grape variety, a version of the Pinot Noir of Burgundy; Weissherbst in effect indicates that the wine is made from the white juice of the grapes, not fermented with skin contact to extract the red pigment; Eiswein picked, frozen, on 27 December
Tasting note: rich yellow gold; intensely honeyed nose; although not too sweet, almost overpoweringly rich, with 135 grams per litre of residual sugar. Superb. Tiny production 2 half bottles per lot
