Schmitges Vom Roten Schiefer Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany

Details

It is the vines that take root in a steep, weathered slate soil in Rotliegend and produce very aromatic small berries. An impressively slate spicy note that combines with a certain saltiness and a hint of mint and lemon balm. There is still no indication of any residual sweetness in the Riesling. This only shows up on the palate when the wine fans out and reveals its creamy, silky texture. This is a wine for lovers of fine, elegant Riesling with a perfect interplay of fruit and acidity.
