Burg Layer Schlosskapelle Bacchus Spätlese Nahe

2024 in the Nahe delivered wonderfully clean, aromatic whites with vibrant acidity. Bacchus—already known for its exuberant perfume—absolutely shines in this vintage, offering both freshness and playful sweetness.

Appearance - Pale lemon with silver highlights, youthful and brilliantly clear.

Aroma - Intensely aromatic: elderflower, honeysuckle, and white peach. Notes of ripe pear, citrus blossom, and a touch of muscat‑like grapiness. A subtle herbal lift—lemongrass and mint—keeps the nose lively.

Palate - Light to medium‑bodied with a juicy, off‑dry sweetness typical of Spätlese. Flavours of lychee, pear drops, mandarin, and green apple sorbet. Crisp, balancing acidity prevents any heaviness and gives the wine a refreshing snap. A gentle mineral thread—classic Nahe—runs beneath the fruit.

Finish - Clean, fragrant, and moderately long, leaving impressions of citrus zest and elderflower.
