Stift Goettweig – Riesling 2016 Ried Pfaffenberg 1ÖTW – Kremstal

The nose is fruity, juicy, elegant and offers a very fine richness / fleshiness. It reveals notes of ripe lemon, crushed pear and lychee combined with discreet touches of ripe mandarin, crushed brugnon as well as a hint of quince and vanilla. The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced, well-built, racy and offers a beautiful acid frame, a beautiful definition, dynamism, liveliness as well as a beautiful juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, crunchy pineapple and juicy apple associated with small notes of vine peach, small touches of apricot / mango as well as a discreet hint of lime zest and minerality (in the background). Good length and good persistence.
