The first reviews for two of our new wines!

With the two 2017 Rieslings "Quarzit" and "Oestrich" we have complemented our assortment this year. Today we received the first reviews for both wines. The online portal Wein-Plus.de rated both wines with 86 points and thus with the grade "very good".

The Riesling "Quarzit" shows a "slightly floral stone- and pome-fruit scent with notes of candied citrus fruit and a certain minerality in the background". The juicy fruit is straightforward underlayed with nutty-yeasty and delicate herbal tones, the acidity alive. The grip of ripe tannins ensures good sustainability and in the good to very good finish with "sweet candy tones" but also a tart and an earthy-salty minerality" as well as "a hint of tobacco".

The "Oestrich Riesling" is characterized by a "light earthy, nutty and slightly yellow-spicy nose". Yellow fruits are accompanied by floral and vegetal notes, whereby the fruit does not look quite dry, again vegetable, nutty and delicately yellow-spicy notes. The acid is fine, the tannins are mellow. The wine has substance and sustainability and has a mineral aftertaste. The finish is very good, juicy and shows grip.

We appreciate these reviews. Especially, as it is about two new wines, with which we go new ways for our winery!
