Domaine Gerard Metz Riesling Muenchberg 1998

This southern facing Grand Cru vineyard has poor, sandy and rocky soil which drains well and is perfect for the production of expressive, concentrated Riesling.The same flavors carry through to the palate where they are enhanced by a lush, rich texture and a penetrating, racy acidity.

This wine ages exceedingly well and is usually released several years after the vintage to allow the fragrance and complexity of ripe fruit to develop and the acids to move into the background.
