Riesling Vendanges Tardives 2017
Concentrated, powerful, vibrant this Riesling Vendanges Tardives (late harvest) is a nugget!
A must have in your cellar!
Splendid on a lemon meringue pie.
Of great elegance, and great freshness this wine harvested in over-ripeness in the "old vines" is of a wonderful complexity.
The nose is very intense with notes of citrus and over-ripeness. The mouth is ample, concentrated and mellow. It reveals aromas of candied yellow fruits, acacia honey and dried fruits: lemon, pineapple, ginger, ... an explosion of flavors!
The finish has a nice length on the aromas. A great mellow wine, powerful and vibrant!
Splendid on a lemon meringue pie.
