Delheim Edelspatz 2020 Bottle size: 375ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R400
'Glorious botrytis dessert from riesling. 2020 powers out the blocks with classic bouquet of marmalade, apricot, rye bread & honey. Rich & unctuous, but lovely, lively acid balances & sweeps through to lengthy finish. 9 months older oak. 12% alc. 375 ml.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
'Roelof Lotriet worked at Château Coutet in Sauternes for a while, so he clearly knows how to make sweet wines. This 100% botrytis-affected Riesling is a triumph, with rich pastry and cooked pear flavours, lime-like acidity, 178 grams of residual sugar, effortless concentration and haunting balance and palate length. 2023-30' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 95/100
'Being one of the best noble rot vintages in over a decade, the wine shows classic botrytis characteristics on the nose and complimented with honey suckle, dried peaches and marmalade. The wine has a perfect balance between sugar and acid, layered with bright fruit and orange blossom. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 30 years.' – Winemaker
