Ostertag Riesling Grand Cru Muenchberg 2002
Alsace, FranceThe 100 per cent bio-dynamic, grand cru rated, amphitheatre-shaped Muenchberg is described by English MW and wine buyer Jasper Morris as "a suntrap protected by the 900m Undersberg Mountain. Its soils are as unique as its microclimate: 250 million year old sandstone with volcanic topsoil which heats quickly cools slowly and drains well. The riesling is sublime. Slate lime rind, peach, mango, baked apple aromas spiced with a touch of smoke. It's extremely ripe and rich yet elegant with just a hint of sweetness. The flavours are more fresh lime rind, baked apple, warm mango, honey and spice flavours. Fine intensity and good acidity and huge concentration.
