"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."
