Daniel P. Drake

Sunday night and I have opened the 2016 Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Spätlese Riesling from the Rheingau region of Germany.

On the nose there is green apple, lemon/lime, pear, the ever present rubber bicycle tire, honeycomb and jasmine.

On the palate there is the green apple, apricot, pear, lime, petrol, lanolin and a good minerality.

This wine is sweet but in balance, light to medium in body with a smooth oily mouthfeel and medium + acidity which leads right into a medium long fresh fruit finish. I hope everyone's weekend was a joyous one? With the week ahead please stay safe and healthy and before you know it it will be the weekend once again. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
