Dr. Fischer Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Spatlese 2016

Plumes of saffron, spice and crushed earth accent ripe yellow-cherry and honeysuckle notes in this deeply honeyed spätlese. Equal parts sun-kissed fruit and earth offset by dazzling lemon-lime acidity, it's a deftly balanced wine that offers a pleasantly astringent finish.

Scents of bruised apple and Rainier cherry anticipate the cherry and apple fruitiness on a surprisingly creamy palate. This finishes with soothing albeit surprisingly simple persistence.
