FOR those old enough, forget the oceans of Liebrfraumilch that flooded the ’70s and ’80s, the Germans actually do make fantastic wine. This Saint Johanner Abtey Kerner Spatlese 2004, made from late harvested Kerner grapes, is delicately sweet with a soft, crisp floral finish which works perfectly with fruit based desserts.
