Reiler Mullay-Hofberg Auslese 2024

„The 2024er Reiler Mullay-Hofberg Riesling Auslese was made from more than 50% botrytized grapes harvested from 40 to 100-year-old vines, particularly from the Schäf and Kellerchen parts of the vineyard, at 93° Oechsle, and was fermented and aged in stainless-steel tanks down to sweet levels of residual sugar level (80 g/l). With a light silvery-white color, it initially appears rather closed and shy, revealing only light scents of lime, herbs, and smoke. With more airing, it reveals a fresh, herbal, and floral nose of linden, lily flower, lozenge, fine spices, white and yellow peach, and candied grapefruit. On the palate, it offers superb lightness and delicacy, blending refined notes of candied citrus and flowers with spices. The finish, superbly long and well-defined, and has a more assertive presence and notes of ripe, yellow fruits. This is still very primary, but its sheer elegance and beautiful balance mean that this wine will improve significantly with age, and there is quite some upside potential. 2034- 2054+“ – Mosel Fine Wines 

„Bright in color, the 2024 Reiler Mullay-Hofberg Auslese is fragrant and refined in its bright, slightly honeyed and saline fruit notes on the nose along with aromas of raisins, iodine and crushed slate. This is the lightest Auslese Thorsten Melsheimer has ever filled, and he was initially unsure about bottling it under the Auslese predicate. Round, lush and elegant, it has a noble, refined texture and fine, stimulatingly crystalline and saline slate grip. This is a filigreed and airy yet intense and persistently saline Auslese that is too good not to drink fast. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026.“ – Wine Advocate
