"Give this time in the glass to aerate. Then, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus and florals appear. The palate is, unsurprisingly, quite sweet, but with enough mouthwatering acidity to buoy it. Sip well-chilled with a salty blue cheese. ‡C.P. "

"The 2023 Riesling Late Harvest is aromatically similar to the Semi-Dry Riesling from the same vintage, with citrus peel and tropical fruit speaking clearly. Fresh and clean, the 2023 delivers such a sensual texture. It's a wine of supreme finesse and, like all of these Rieslings, it never falters. Residual sugar is 56 grams per liter."

"Budget-minded fans of sweeter Rieslings will want to load up on the 2023 Riesling Late Harvest, which comes mainly from the Josef Vineyard but sells for just a bit more than half the price. There's no notable botrytis influence here, the nose being a pristine fruit salad of green apple, peach, kiwifruit and pineapple. Weighing at 8.3% alcohol and 53 grams per liter residual sugar, it's medium-bodied and creamy-textured, with a lush, elegant finish."
