Note di degustazione
The intimations of both chalk dust and saline notes on the nose faintly bring Chablis to mind. The polished palate displays both oyster shell and oyster innards in its meld of chalky, saline, herbaceous and mouthwateringly animal-savory elements, along with a shimmering sense of citrus and mineral interaction. Zesty lemon and piquant kumquat add to the striking persistence a wine suited to setting the tonsils vibrating and milking the salivary glands.

The Morstein used to be the early front-runner of Keller’s Grosse Gewächse and it can certainly still capture the olfactory attention with aromas of yellow fruit, apple blossom, vanilla and rosemary. On the palate it is not quite as taut as some of its siblings, quite rich in ripe local fruit flavours and showing a perfect sweet and sour balance. Stony minerality cools down the finish and turns exuberance into elegance. (MS)
