Thörle 2011 Saulheimer Hölle Beerenauslese Riesling (Rheinhessen)

Country: Germany / Saulheimer Hölle Beerenauslese
Variety: Riesling Rheinhessen
Winery: Thörle /

Saffron and dusty mineral tones seep into notes of marmalade and candied orange peel in this intensely ripe honeyed Riesling. The palate bursts with yellow peach and mango, but savory tinges of earth and petrol peek through enticingly. It’s dazzling now, a veritable explosion of sweetness, acidity and minerality, but should meld beautifully from 2020-2025.
