Riesling Estate 2013

- 89 points -

You may furrow your brows when seeing a 'mere' Estate wine rated so high in 2013. There is a reason: this is made above all from 'declassified' parcels in Erdener Treppchen, Graacher Domprobst and Himmelreich and Veldenzer Elisenberg. The nose shows notes of pineapple, peach skin, ginger spice, grapefruit, a touch of smoke and apricot. Nice and open aromas lead to a creamy wine which has nice presence and freshness. The finish is long and more off dry in taste than sweet. This is a great success for a 'humble' estate wine!
