Schmitt Söhne Piesporter Michelsberg Spätlese 2020 Riesling, $8.49-$15.99, 87 points, was a light brass color transitioning water clear midway towards the rim.
The weak aromas of dusty white grape and hints of petrol, newspaper, and a fresh minerality were pleasant.
Spätlese, meaning late harvest, is a relatively sweet Riesling, and this one was no different: it was light-bodied, showed good acidity, was apple-tart with flavors of caramel, lemon, and of course that apple.
Finished fair on the fading palate, rock candy, and a balanced 8.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my fiery barbeque pork loin-chops.
