Vines for the Auslese are aged between 25 and 45 years and yield about 20hl/ha. 100% 100% selectively hand-harvested fruit is fermented and aged in stainless steel vats. This radiant noble Riesling show richly complex aromatics and a sophisticated, mineral-laced acidity.
This is a very contrastive sweet wine with sliced melon, white peaches and honey. Dried fruit. Full-bodied yet compact and tight, giving it an agile tension. Fresh and energetic acidity. Salted caramel aftertaste. Great wine. One for the cellar. 1,200 bottles. Drink now or hold.

Even greater citrus purity here than on the Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Auslese. Full of pure apricot fruit, sweet but harmonious. Generously fruited and really exotic. Indulgent.

The 2018 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Auslese is perfectly clear and fresh but still intense and concentrated on the spicy and complex nose. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is a fresh, stunningly pure and playful Brücke that is singing and dancing on the knife's edge. Fabulous in its purity, tension and finesse. Nevertheless, there is the ripeness you can expect from an Auslese. Tasted in July 2019.
