Is Riesling Vendange Tardive a good wine?
Tasting profile
A late-harvest Alsace Riesling with a deep golden color and a complex nose of honey, peach, green apple, lemon, and ripe melon, alongside notes of caramel, panettone, and marmalade. Rich and intense yet balanced by high acidity, it drinks fresher and less cloying than many Vendange Tardive bottlings, with a long finish carrying a pleasantly bitter edge.
Synthesized from 241Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“OMG! Great... A typical Vendage Tardive but somehow less clingy sweet than most. Has a surprising freshness - even after 40 years!!! Highly recommended.”
