Niederhauser Pfingstweide Riesling Spatlese

This 1992 Niederhäuser Pfingstweide Riesling Spätlese from Paul Anheuser showcases the remarkable longevity of mature German Riesling. Sourced from the Pfingstweide vineyard in the Nahe, known for its gravelly, well-drained soils, the wine has developed layered complexity over decades of bottle age. Expect aromas of dried apricot, honey and candied citrus peel, with delicate petrol notes emerging from long-term maturation. The palate is silky and nuanced, balancing residual sweetness with lively acidity and a gently mineral finish.

The Anheuser family has been making wine in the Nahe since 1627, making them one of Germany’s oldest wine families. Their Pfingstweide vineyard sits tucked along the riverbank near Niederhausen — a site once noted in 19th-century Prussian agricultural records for producing “particularly fragrant Riesling”.
