Tement, Manfred - Sauvignon blanc Zieregg Vinothek Reserve 2017

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Mit feinem Blütenhonig unterlegte frische Stachelbeernuancen, Nuancen von Orangenzesten, ein Hauch von Bienenwachs, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, saftig, fruchtiger Kern, feiner Säurebogen, gelbe Fruchtnoten im Nachhall, besitzt trotz einer gewissen Opulenz eine tolle Frische und Pikanz, bereits sehr gut antrinkbar, verfügt über Länge und sicheres Potenzial."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2017 Ried Zieregg Vinothek Reserve offers a pure, fresh and limestone-driven yet intense and complex multi-dimensional bouquet whose lemon- and yeasty-scented richness and phenolic features immediately ask for a big glass (yet, after several tries, are perfectly expressed by the Riedel Veritas Riesling glass). On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and luscious, stunningly round and almost sweetish Zieregg that is sourced from the steepest parcel of the cru named "Die sieben Reihen" (The Seven Rows). In fact, the parcel doesn't host more than seven rows of vines on an extremely shallow coral limestone soil. Aged on the lees for 30 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is a tightly structured but also round and elegant Zieregg with great terroir expression and length."
