Delheim Spatzendreck 2017

One of Spatz Sperling’s best pioneering efforts. Beautiful, vibrant gold straw hues. On the nose citrus blossoms, quince and honey with a variety of tropical fruit flavours comes to mind. The palate is well supported by intense fruit flavours that is underpinned by a well balance acidity.
