2015 Ried Zieregg Morillon STK Grosse Lage

The golden-yewllow colored 2015 Zieregg Morillon comes from Muschelkalk soils with a thicker layer of brown soil. The wine opens with a clear, intense and aromatic bouquet of perfectly ripe, yellow-fleshed fruits intermixed with crushed rocks and lemon juice. Round and very elegant on the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied and juicy Zieregg with a mouthful of fruit, fine acidity, firm tannins and a lingering finish. It is still a bit hard and tannic in the finish, but this will soften over the time. The wine is succulent, powerful and big and needs this structure. It has more flesh on the bones compared to the more mineral and pure Weissburgunder form the very stony part of the Zieregg. Tasted at the domaine in May 2017.
