1/2 Size Bottles - 375ml

A deep garnet colour with aromas of savoury, herbaceous red and black fruit with hints of tobacco and spice on the nose. Good cassis fruit intensity, well-managed tannins and a balanced, lean finish.

Critic James Suckling described it as "clean, crisp and flavourful", with a "pretty nose". Maturation in part new oak barrels for 20 months lends notes of vanilla to the freshness of the fruit. 91 points

The Auslese vinified from this location with weathered slate is reminiscent of lemon, lime, grapefruit and a hint of sweetness that lies above all the other flavors. The ripe fruit of the vintage is evident on the palate. But even if the wine initially appears sweet, it quickly becomes clearer and finer. Structures itself with air and leaves room for the fine acidity, as well as the lively mineral note that this selection possesses.

Arguably one of the greatest producers of the sweet, amber nectar know as Sauternes, Chateau Suduiraut created the Lions de Suduiraut as a younger, fresher and lighter version of it's top wine. The vineyards border those of d’Yquem’s and are planted with predominately Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The Lions de Suduiraut is an ideal introduction to the style and is blended to be velvety, fresh and ready for immediate consumption. Think ripe apricot, marmalade, zesty peel and hints of vanilla and honey. Luscious!

From our steepest, south-facing parcel, within the Erdener Treppchen. Exclusively grapes were selected with at least 50% noble rot and gently pressed on a small, old basket press. The result: Very expressive finesse sweet wine. Storage potential of at least 20 years!
