From the legendary blue-slate Scharzhofberger—this estate's flagship—this 2018 Auslese selects perfectly ripe botrytis berries from steep south-facing slopes. Cool Fuder fermentation captures Saar's rocky purity through 2018's ripe concentration, yielding lush noble sweetness with vibrant structure and extraordinary finesse.
