Note di degustazione
The 2016 Nahe Riesling (Dorsheimer) Pittermännchen Spätlese is quite reductive on the nose but offers ripe and sensual fruit flavors. On the palate, this is a light yet intense and salty-piquant Riesling with vital acidity, great finesse and lightness. Auctioned in Bad Kreuznach, September 2017.

This auctioned bottling weighs in at a mere 7.5% alcohol, yet its correspondingly high residual sugar doesn’t come off as excessively sweet. Yeasty fermentative notes part to reveal very ripe white peach and quince that are then succulently and soothingly deployed on a creamy, expansive yet delicate palate. A cooling suggestion of honeydew melon and mint infusion brings with it a welcome, very subtly bitter counterpoint that lasts through a finish of striking buoyancy and luscious persistence.
Great complexity of fragrance with the freshness of elderflower blossom, aromatic peach and blackcurrant fruit and a delightfully sweet notion of butterscotch. Although the sensory attention is first grabbed by an inspiring exhibition of zesty and juicy fruit, the Pittermännchen decides to remind the imbiber of its slaty provenance with a subtle display of dusty and stony nuances. Exhilarating acidity and gentle sweetness get along together just fine to deliver a Spätlese with plenty of vibrancy. (MS)
