Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof Wiltinger Alte Reben 2015
Mosel, GermanyAll of the dry tasting wines at St Urbans-Hof bear a white label and a super, bright, freshness in the mouth. The Wiltinger Schlangengraben (snakepit) is a nine-hectare vineyard located in the heart of the Saar Valley. The winery suggest vines and reptiles have one thing in common: they love a warm and humid environment. White pears, apricots and guava lead a light and lively riesling with a fine mineral undercurrent. Complex and sophisticated, this is a riesling for contemplation. The hint of sweetness will take on lightly spiced food with ease.Tasted: 25 January 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $44.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
