Rich and thickly textured, this wine features intense botrytis aromas of dried apricots, backing them up with flavors of honey and orange marmalade. Long and intensely sugary on the finish, with enough sugar to genuinely stand up to desserts. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Thick, oily and sweet, this wine is clearly not a typical spätlese. Dried apricots, baked apple and dried spices coat the palate, finishing long and sweet but with just enough lime-like acidity for balance. Drink now–2020. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

A bit over the top, thickly layered with dried apricots, honey and dried spices. This is one rich, sweet BA, with surprisingly apparent alcohol (9.5%). It finishes a bit low in acid, making it impressive but not classic. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

This elegant, medium-bodied kabinett boasts textbook Mosel flavors of green apples, lime, pineapple and slate. Its slightly creamy texture is nicely balanced by crisp acidity and a light touch of spritz.

Starts off with delicate scents of lime, green apple and talcum powder. Restrained apple flavors make room for minerally notes to shine through in this sweet, but decently balanced, wine. Finishes short. Drink now–2008. Imported by Chapin Cellars.

An obvious, fruity kabinett, with ample body and off-dry character, Ehlen’s 2007 Erdener Treppchen boasts ripe melon aromas and flavors underscored by hints of nectarine and a squirt of citrus.
