Country: Germany / Mosel
Variety: Riesling
Winery: C. von Nell-Breuning / Kaseler Dominikanerberg Auslese
At almost 16 years old, this auslese exhibits the delicate transition Riesling makes from fruit to earth. Smoke, dusty minerals, saffron and caramel dominate the palate. Texturally, it seems layered with silk and astringency. On the finish, racy acidity lifts and revitalizes.
