The 2006 Traiser Rotenfels Riesling Spatlese represents a major jump in must weight and botrytis. Orange marmalade, yellow plum preserves, and honey inform a glossy, sleek, yet quite delicate palate. Brash acidity, with citrus zest and tart pit fruit skin lend a sense of invigoration that follows into the penetrating finish, where at most the slightest hint of caramelization can be perceived. Peter Crusius claims that the concentration of acidity is also the work of botrytis, even if in some Nahe 2006s an opposite effect can be witnessed. I would drink this at 5-10 years’ age. In contrast to what one would normally expect, this year Riesling succumbed to botrytis more quickly than some of his other varieties, notes Peter Crusius.No U.S. importer.
