| Dear "R L Miller", fortunately, the Max Ferd. Richter winery is one of those that provides an English website on the Internet - go to www.maxferdrichter.com for a fair amount of information. The 2002 vintage of course was excellent on the moselle, not too hot, but enough to produce excellent flavours, and quite a lot of sweet botrytis wines - all with typical flinty, spicy character. The Richter Auslese is possibly their best wine of the vintage, rated 90 by the Gault Millau guide, and 94/A by the Fine Wine Review, #97, Nov. 2003. Reviewers give it at least a 10-year maturation time. Price of the wine ex-cellar is around EUR 19, or around US$ 21.00. It certainly seems you have acquired a very fine Moselle wine here - possibly go back for more to study its development over the coming years. Kind wine regards, Peter Gebler (I live around 45 minutes drive from Brauneberg) "rlmillerbba@aol.com" <rlmillerbba@aol.com> schrieb: > > have difficulty in finding good german wine selections in my area. > any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. recently did pick up > bottles of 2002 weingut max ferd. richter-brauneberger > juffer-sonnenuhr riesling auslese. can anyone tell me about this > vintage,wine etc? thank you > > This message was created using the Web-based forum : > www.wein-plus.com/forum/ > |
