Riesling Beerenauslese 2010 is an exquisite, organic dessert wine from the historic Rheingau estate. Crafted from hand-picked, botrytized Riesling grapes grown on quartzite and loess soils, it offers rich aromas of honey, dried peach, and tropical fruit, with a subtle mineral undertone. Its luscious sweetness is balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a refined, velvety palate. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit desserts, this wine exemplifies Schloss Vollrads’ 800-year tradition of exceptional winemaking.
