2018 Haart Frauenberg Riesling Trocken 750Ml Bottle

91+ points! '91+ points! The 2018er Frauenberg comes from the Nieder-Flörsheimer Frauenberg, a well-known “Grand Cru” vineyard on limestone soil in Rheinhessen, where the Estate took over a parcel in 2018. The grapes were harvested at 92° Oechsle and brought to and fermented at the facilities in Piesport down to fully dry levels of residual sugar (4 g/l). The wine offers a quite aromatic and floral nose of white peach, lavender, mint, Provence herbs and smoke. It proves juicy and a touch creamy on the over-all dynamic and intense palate but leaves a slightly opulent and phenolic feel on the overall rather tart and herbal finish. This dry Riesling will need a couple of years to settle down and integrate. It could then easily exceed our high expectations, in particular if it gains in finesse. 2023-2033. Mosel Fine Wines
