Common questions

What does Spätlese mean?

Late harvest. It describes grapes picked riper than usual. A Spätlese is often medium sweet unless it is labelled trocken.

Why does old Riesling smell of petrol?

With age, a natural compound in Riesling can develop an aroma often described as petrol or kerosene. It is a recognised feature of mature Riesling, not a fault.
