Donnhoff, Felsenberg, Riesling, Trocken, Nahe 2006

Vibrant straw/yellow.

Discreet, pristine aromas of white peach/nectarine/apple and a suggestion of meal.

Very deep flavors of peach coulis, spiced apple and chewy mineral action. Vibrant acidity, no (obvious) sweetness from sugar (Trocken=dry). Fruit flavors are remarkably even throughout the wine, always kept taut by mineral/acid structure. Very long finish begins with fruit and ends with teeth-coating mineral chew.
