Tasting notes
Bright aromas of white peach, persimmon and herbal spices, plus a note of lemon zest. With its ripe nectarine fruit and crisp minerality, this Riesling shows refined weight and delicate depth. Well balanced, elegant and feminine in character, it should mature gracefully over the next five years.

Straw yellow/white golden in color, the 2013 Westhofen Kirchspiel Riesling trocken offers a deep, dense and complex, fascinatingly pure and developing bouquet of powdered limestone, peeled limes, herbs (tarragon) and white peaches. Rich, round, and complex on the palate, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, juicy yet firmly structured, piquant and persistently mineral Riesling has a refreshingly citric, stimulating finish and can age at least for a decade.
Hint of coconut on the nose of this. Chewy and pretty youthful. For the moment a bit inexpressive and chunky. A tad surly at the moment. Wait! (JR)
