Wiltinger Alte Reben Riesling - Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof

Wiltinger Alte Reben Riesling - Nik Weis St. Urbans-HofThe Wiltinger Alte Reben Riesling Kabinett from Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof is a seductive, characterful and varietally pure white wine from the German wine-growing region of Wiltingen on the Saar (site Wiltinger Schlangengraben). In the glass, this wine shines a clear light gold with platinum gold highlights. The nose delights in an herbaceous bouquet that also reveals fruity aromas of sun-ripened citrus and ripe gooseberries. Thanks to the Devonian slate soil, mineral nuances still come to the fore. On the palate, this German white wine is very lively with a playful character. This wine also brings a multi-layered depth and firm structure, and is perfectly rounded off by an invigorating acidity and fine residual sweetness.
