Delheim Edelspatz 2021 Bottle size: 375ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R400
‘Numerous pickings & relentless selection deliver this consistently gorgeous botrytis dessert from riesling. 2021’s classic bouquet & flavours of marmalade, apricot, rye bread & honey are richly unctuous, but 8 g/L acid ensures a balanced finish. As satisfying as 2020 (95 pts), also fermented/9 months in older oak. 12% alc. 375 ml.’ – Platter's Guide, 5* (96/100)
‘Having seen the amount of work that goes into producing this world-class sweet wine makes me admire it even more. Made with 90% botrytis-affected Riesling from the oldest block on the farm, it's very much a labour of love. Fermented in old oak, Edelspatz has subtle baking spice top notes, flavours of peach, lime, dried fruit and crème brûlée, incredible minerality and a lovely balance between natural acidity and 175 grams of residual sugar. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 96/100
