Weingut W.E. Frank - Riesling Orbel Grosse Lage 2016

The Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Niersteiner Orbel Grosse Lage Riesling opens with a ripe and intensely fruity, lemon-tinted bouquet with delicate slate aromas. Bottled with 10.5% alcohol, this is a rather off-dry Orbel with lush fruit and the delicate mineral nervosity of the south-facing Orbel, which is located in a side valley and rather far from the Rhine river. The 2016 is rater lithe in body and stimulatingly pure but intense and persistently salty in taste. This 2016 reveals a delicate finish with remarkable balance. A classic from the red slope. Tasted in November 2019."
