The Auslese* designation indicates rigorously selected, late‑harvested berries at higher ripeness, while the off‑dry balance aims for depth and length without the full richness of dessert‑style Auslese.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eGrapes are handpicked in several passes to capture optimally ripe and partly botrytised clusters, then gently pressed and fermented with a measured amount of residual sugar left in the wine. Ageing on fine lees builds texture and aromatic complexity while preserving the bright acidity that keeps the wine precise and lively.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eExpressive aromas of lemon oil, lime, white peach and apricot, with hints of blossom, honey and wet slate.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eOn the palate, concentrated stone‑fruit and citrus flavours sit over an off‑dry sweetness that is cut by crystalline acidity.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe finish is long and polished, echoing citrus zest, ripe peach and cool slate notes.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecific published scores from major critics for this exact bottling are not available in the accessible references at the moment.

It pairs particularly well with aromatic or moderately spicy Asian cuisine, dishes featuring pork or duck with fruit accents, richer poultry, and soft cheeses, and it can be cellared for around 10–15 years to develop deeper notes of dried apricot, candied citrus and gentle petrol tones.​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: typically around 8–9.5% ABV for an off‑dry Mosel Auslese of this style and vintage.​\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: off‑dry; clearly sweet but less so than classic dessert Auslese, balanced by high acidity.​\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork.​\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793211408555,"sku":"MMO012-18","price":324.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/markus_molitor_zeltinger_himmelreich_riesling_auslese_off_dry.jpg?v=1789202468","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/markus-molitor-zeltinger-himmelreich-riesling-auslese-off-dry-2018","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
