Graff Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling Spatlese 2016 |
Riesling is a light-skinned, aromatic grape of German origin which is – if the majority of top wine critics are to be believed – the world's finest white wine grape variety.
Light golden and wonderfully refreshing without being too sweet.
Citrus/flower nose. Apples at first, more citrus toward the back.
You will often find rather mediocre, if not to say cheap wines (quantity instead of quality) under the name of “Piesporter Michelsberg”. This Riesling Spatlese reflects the unique feature of this region, the slate soil combined with the “queen” of white grape varieties, the Riesling. You will enjoy the true character of a Mosel wine; the fruity character (apple, citrus) and the underlying slaty acidity add to a harmonious balance in this wine. Pairings: Perfect with spicy dishes like Asian or Tex-Mex cuisine.
