Bright lemon yellow. Multilayered scent of pink grapefruit, wild strawberry and rock candy. Juicy and creamy on the palate, quite soft acidity, but by no means too less. Very good length.

Light greyish yellow. Initially completely closed nose and also on the palate supposedly without a clear definition. But after a longer air supply the incomprehensible happens: The dry Riesling from the Bopparder Hamm Ohlenberg comes to life and suddenly shows clear contours and a very typical aromatics with ripe, tropical-sounding fruit. The wine is light and delicate on the palate. A picture book Kabinett. Serious and delicate, vinified “without tinsel”. Good length.

The colour spectrum ranges from medium lemon yellow to light straw yellow. Although the class of the wine can already be guessed on the first day, it only shows its full potential after 24 hours. This does not mean that everything can be discovered with just one sip. Because this chameleon plays with the taster “hare and hedgehog”, new facets open up again and again. Sometimes it's the floral components that push themselves into the foreground and evoke memories of white flowers, shortly afterwards a green and herbaceous note demands attention. Then again it is the expansive, tropical fruit that lines the mouth and seems to tolerate nothing else next to it, until a very fine, harmonious acid dares to come out of its hiding place and once again shuffles all the cards anew. No question about it, Florian Weingart's dry Spätlese “Am Weißen Wacke” is a masterpiece that, in my opinion, is one of the (few) really great dry Rieslings of the vintage 2018 in Germany.

Light yellow-green. In the nose green herbaceous spice. Scent of peach and woodruff. Straight character with a lot of traction on the palate. Convinces with freshness and juiciness. Shows a spicy grapefruit note in the long finish.

Straw yellow with golden accents. At first in the nose still with a lot of carbonic acid, yellow fleshy aromas and a rather broad base. With a few hours of air the picture changes permanently. The nose becomes much more subtle and complex, even more focused. In the mouth it has a creamy fruitiness and an excellent balance between harmonious acidity and fine sweetness. Over time it develops into one of the most beautiful Rieslings of the vintage, probably also beyond the Mittelrhein region. Very long. Requires time.

Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. Opulent bouquet with yellow fleshy aromas which already suggests a creamy consistency of the wine in the mouth. There, too, with a breathtaking fullness that unites everything that makes a monumental Spätlese: fruit, a fine, excellently balanced acidity, delicate sweetness, floral notes. A Riesling with off-dry taste, excellent length and a herbaceous echo.

Light white gold. In the nose vegetable spice, fine mandarin, some mint. Slim late harvest type, on the palate with invigorating sweetness and creamy fruit base. Soft acidity, well balanced, but still underdeveloped. Absolutely needs time. Very good length.

Harvested in the night of January 21, 2019. Pure white gold. In the nose honey and a clearly focused grapefruit aroma. Mature acidity, excellently integrated in creamy fruit fullness and balanced with the sweetness. Outstanding length. In spite of the late harvest typical for ice wine and hardly recognizable Botrytis.
