Tasting notes
The 2017 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling GG Alte Reben shows very delicate, elegant, mineral and slatey aromas of white peaches on the stylish, coolish nose. It is lush, fresh and piquant on the palate, with a crystalline structure. This is a very clear, elegant Riesling with tropical fruits flavors on the long, silky, well-structured finish. Tasted in March 2019.

TA 7.8 g/l, RS 7.8 g/l. Citrus lightly spiced with a cedary note. Just a touch smoky/fumy. Intense and mouth-watering with lots of minerally citrus, the minerality more a spice than a stony character. Intense and long, with a rounded richness on the palate. (JH)
A delicate fragrance intrigues with hints of tropical fruit and exotic spices. On the palate juicy fruit delights with a citrusy tang, well supported by a dusty combination of minerals and spices. Herbal nuances add complexity. Not too dry, but nevertheless vibrant and fresh. (MS)
