BRAUNEBERGER JUFFER RIESLING SPÄTLESE The terrifyingly steep Brauneberg hillside has been revered as a top vineyard site since the Romans first cultivated wine grapes in the Mosel valley

with hints of liquorice from the gentian root

An aromatic whirlpool of ethereal notes

yet tangy acidity keeps it fresh

to the far south of the Chianti Classico region

BOLGHERI SUPERIOR 2017 sku_2424115-1 BRAUNEBERGER JUFFER RIESLING SPÄTLESE TheThe 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is a 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc blend that delivers the pedigree of the estate. However, those hot vintage considerations are hard to avoid. The wine opens to dark and sultry fruit with blackberry and dried currant. Those fruit tones are followed by spice, campfire ash and potting soil. The wine works up great momentum on the bouquet.
