Country: Germany / Bockstein Ockfen Spätlese Erste Lage
Variety: Riesling Mosel
Winery: St. Urbans-Hof /
Rather austere whiffs of lemon, lime and pine on the nose of this medium-sweet Spätlese belie the fruity mélange of grapefruit and guava that awaits on the palate. It’s dainty in mouthfeel, yet buoyant and penetrating in sweet citrus, honey and melon flavors. The finish draws out dramatically, meandering on a murmur of tea tannins.
