Lebenshilfe - Riesling Spätlese | WINE MOMENTS | Sweet Wine Hong Kong

SUMMER - PEACH - SWEET

Spätlese means late harvest which usually means the wines are sweeter and Spätsommerliebe, a little bit of a tongue twister, means late summer love.
This organic late harvest Riesling is exactly that, packed with a balanced sweetness paired up with the flavours of apricot and peach - perfect for a romantic late summer evening. 

A little background on the inspiring vineyard this wine comes from:

The Lebenshilfe Winery makes beautiful organic wine and has a beautiful story. Lebenshilfe means “life help” and is a foundation to support intellectual disabled adults and kids in Germany. They take their environmental and social responsibilities to heart by running a shop selling locally made products and even employing a team of 35 adults with special needs to work with the winemakers.

The very cute wine label was hand-drawn by a disabled woman who worked for the vineyard in the 80s. The simple crayon drawing visualizes the essentials of winemaking: sun, vines, soil, and a happy farmer.
