    🍇 Wine & Production Notes

    • The label “Spätlese” indicates that the grapes were harvested later than the main harvest—this gives them greater ripeness, more developed flavors, and higher residual sugar potential while preserving acidity. Wikipedia+1

    • Schmitt Söhne describes this wine as “fully-ripened,” with pronounced fruit flavors of apricots and peaches, balanced by sufficient acidity to maintain a juicy mouthfeel. Schmitt Söhne

    • Typical residual sugar levels for this expression range around 48–56 g/L with total acidity between 6.5 – 7.5 g/L (depending on vintage) Schmitt Söhne

    👃 & 👅 Tasting Profile

    • Appearance: Pale straw to light gold

    • Aroma: Lush notes of stone fruits like apricot and peach, white floral touches, a hint of citrus peel

    • Finish: Clean, lingering, with a pleasant mix of ripe fruit and fresh acidity that avoids cloying sweetness Wine Made Easy+2Wine Folder+2
