Here are some rarities; Prädikat Rheingau wines like they were made 100 years ago – which is to say very little residual sugar. Becker’s Spätlesen have less residual sugar (by probably 20-30 grams?) than nearly everyone else’s – both of these clock in at under 30 grams total. The Sonnenberg has only 24 grams residual sugar, but also a bit less acidity and in general feels to me (as it always does) decidedly elegant and suave. This is more serpentine and relaxed, though again, this is a Spätlese to drink with dinner!
