The Müller-Catoir Gimmeldinger Schlössel Rieslaner Auslese 2001 is a rare sweet white wine from Germany’s Pfalz region, crafted by the Müller-Catoir estate from Rieslaner grapes. This 2001 vintage displays a deep amber hue and an opulent nose of dried apricot, honey, and candied orange, with hints of petrol, spice, and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering a long, decadent finish with notes of toffee and dried fruit. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, this wine reflects the slate-rich terroir of Pfalz. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, blue cheeses, or foie gras, it offers a luxurious dining experience. At over two decades old, it is at its peak, showcasing mature, honeyed complexity, and is best enjoyed now. This Rieslaner Auslese is a collector’s treasure, embodying Müller-Catoir’s reputation for crafting iconic German sweet wines with depth and elegance.
