Note di degustazione
A chive-like note from sulfur plus further fermentative residues slightly obscures the nose, though with aeration, apple and melon scents emerge. Happily, the glossy palate is succulently rich and full of pure fruit, with fresh lime serving for balancing brightness. The finish lingers lusciously and refreshingly, carrying an appropriate undertone of wet stone. Give this some time and it should shape up impressively.

The 2017 Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese is the finest and most precise of the different selections or predicates. The nose is pure and fresh, with slatey notes. The palate is lush but lean, crystalline and elegant, revealing generous but precisely defined fruit and lingering salinity. Tasted in March 2019.
RS 85 g/l and no botrytis – which is what he prefers if possible. Pure honey and lemon fruit with just a slight smoky note. That smoky quality on the palate too, and single-minded fruit purity. Cuts across the palate to a long, super-crisp finish. GV (JH)
