Riesling Kamptaler Terrassen 2008
This Riesling is a blend of wines sourced from different terraced (=high quality) vineyards. The elevated terraces consist of stonier soils that bring fruit driven wines with mineral nuances and good aging potential. The vines from lower sited terraces grow partly on layered fertile loess and bring earlier maturing wines that are very expressive in their youth.
By combining those two characteristics, we obtain a Riesling that shows both finesse and a certain vigor. First time filled with Stelvin Closure
Yield: 3500 liters per hectare
Alcohol: 12 % - Acidity: 6,5g - Residual sugar: 5 g
Tasting note:
impressive primary fruit in this vintage (classic apricot & peach and also tangerine & citrus), flowery elements some herbs and green tea, still a bit yeasty, yet open at the front, with a hint of minerals and flowery aromas , straightforward and fresh on the palate again with surprising fruit, medium body, mineral nuances, good structure and balance, already accessible showing good potential.
Food pairing:
Seafood, cold starters, grilled fish, white meat, fried or roasted chicken and different asian dishes (Wok) if not too hot. |
