The 2024 Riesling Elisenberger Spätlese was made without any botrytized fruit. A reductive funk defines the nose for now, but the wine underneath dances along on lovely, light feet. The palate delivers juicy peaches galore, bathing them in lemon and slate. It is so concentrated yet exquisitely svelte. What an incredibly animating Spätlese, with such verve and energy. The 2024 is zesty with a gorgeous echo of grapefruit and bergamot. (Sweet)(AK)

Here, the special combination of great ripeness and light body is married to a wonderful flinty freshness. Very compact and racy, giving this terrific energy in the extremely long, wet-stone finish. Drink or hold.

Review Date: 05/2026
Picked three weeks later than the Kabinett (yet free of botrytis), the 2024 Veldenzer Elisenberger Riesling Spätlese is pure and herbal on the nose that shows a ripe and concentrated fruit with savory terroir notes of crushed stones. Lush and savory on the palate, this is a generous, intense and fleshy Spätlese with a long, crystalline, saline, savory and very promising finish. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026.(SR)

Notes

94pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 17 25. The 2024er Elisenberger Riesling Spätlese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from fruit harvested at 85° Oechsle on 70-year-old vines and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (71 g/l). It is still marked by residual scents from its spontaneous fermentation and takes a while to reveal its gorgeous nose made of ginger, white flowers, and fine spices. The wine is beautifully playful on the palate and leaves a stunningly pure feel of fresh orchard fruits and ripe acidity in the light-footed and gorgeously long finish. What a great Spätlese! 2034-2054."(07/2025)
