Geschwister Simon Ayler Kupp Riesling Spätlese

Wine information: Some of the greatest Rieslings come from the Saar tributary of the Mosel. The little village of Ayl lies on the western flank of the Saar, and the wines show the classic cool, herb, apple and mineral austerity which has a beauty in itself. The south-facing Kupp site is clearly the most favourable. All Ayl vineyards are known, since 1971, by the name of its historically best site: Kupp. Located on the Saar river, the 8.5 hectares of south / southwest facing hillside vineyards are situated in the Saar and Ruwer district and are composed of slate rich in minerals. The Geschwister Simon Estate is managed by Georg Steffes and he ensures that yields are kept low to produce wines with greater complexity, depth and character. The Simon Ayler Kupp Riesling Spätlese is lighter style of riesling, there are distintive slate, floral and citrus notes on the nose which follow on to the palate where there are peach flavours and a good minerality. Try with spicy fish dishes.
