2013 Mineral Riesling Trocken

From the cooler parts of the Halenberg grand cru the 2013 Nahe Riesling trocken Mineral is a pure, fresh and herbal scented classic of the estate, a premier cru if you so will, that is harvested earlier than the Grosses Gewächs wines and offers a firm mineral structure with a near dramatic straightforwardness. The acidity is piquant and the mineralty shines through to dominate the bright and citric fruit, but it is still not as juicy as as you find in the grands cru. This is a pure, almost ascetic wine for connoisseurs. A best buy that sells for 13 Euro in Germany.
