The complex floral honey aromas pull you into this very striking riesling Auslese, in which an orange cream character, restrained honeyed richness, creaminess and dazzling acidity are beautifully interwoven. It’s very hard to resist the combination of great succulence and incredible freshness in the extremely long and dynamic finish. Limited production.

The 2023 Riesling Scharzhofberger Auslese, made from botrytized fruit that's juicy but not shriveled, offers a nose of candied orange peel dipped in clear honey with hints of dried apricot and a light vestige of smoke. The palate is intensely sweet, featuring candied peach and lemon peel that tingle and make the mouth water with their exquisite sharpness. Tautness and tension define the light body, creating a heightened drama of absolute acid and sugar.
