Dessert and sweet wines explained: late harvest, noble rot and icewineSauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Grigio: choosing a crisp whiteThe ageing that this has already undergone at Trimbach’s cellars is manifest in its bright - almost Chartreuse - golden yellow. It has wonderfully deep, enticing aromas of candied lemons, lime marmalade, quince, pineapple, chamomile and honey. Its fabulously satisfying, rich texture in the mouth is kept fresh by zesty acidity and enlivened by intriguing notes of beeswax, pine forest, pineapple and lemon. The wealth of fruit character creates an impression of sweetness, however it is in fact pretty much bone dry. Absolutely - and gloriously - ready to enjoy now, this could be cellared for many more years if desired.

Common questions
Is Riesling sweet?
Not always. Many Rieslings are dry, especially from Alsace, Australia and German wines labelled trocken. Others are off dry or sweet, so check the label and ABV.
What does Spätlese mean?
Late harvest. It describes grapes picked riper than usual. A Spätlese is often medium sweet unless it is labelled trocken.
