Wine Description
This Beerenauslese shows plenty of botrytis and acidity, making for a classic BA that has liveliness without overwhelming sweetness. You can hold this for ages, but there is no reason not to enjoy it now. The result is wonderful botrytis in the nose with apple, apricot and grapefruit flavors and a full, rich body. A potential giant for the future. The striking, long finish is mixed with fruit, caramel and honey. While this BA is undeniably impressive. |

Richard Scheid Estate
The winery's premier vineyard is Burglay Felsen in Zell, Mosel. Its terrior consists mainly of slates and pebble stones, which hold little water and shape vines that are deep-rooted to access water and necessary minerals. At the top of the slope lies a forest, which retains much needed moisture. During dry periods, water from the forest floor is released into the sub-soils of the vineyards below to reduce vine-stress during drought periods.
Quality not quantity matters to Richard Scheid. Through selective harvesting of the grapes, limited yields, tender care of the vines and environmentally friendly fertilization, he practices viticulture that is close to the nature.
Richard Scheid has already won many awards in both state and federal competitions and is considered at the forefront of a group of up-and-coming young Mosel vintners.
