Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof Saarfeilser 2015

Mosel, GermanyThe Urbans-Hof white labels are dry tasting and are among our very favourites. Saarfeilser faces directly south making it one of the warmest sites in the cool Saar region. A twice changing river course has left a deposit of sand and gravel at Saarfeilser creating the delicate nature of this wine that opens with white flowers and wild herbs fed by a palate packed with a tightrope of acid, peach, citrus and dusty stony dry finish. The vines are as 40-to 60 years old here. This is a great bottle of pure riesling.Tasted: 25 January 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
