No 17 Neuenberg
Varietal: Riesling
Region: Saar
Country: Germany
Format: 750ml
ABV: 12%
The 2023er Neuenberg N°17, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a barely off-dry wine made from fruit picked in this prime Lieu-Dit forming the south-southwest facing, central part of the original Kupp hill (at the foot of the hill). It offers a very aromatic and rich nose of William’s pear, smoke, anise, thyme, violet, lime tree, and cherry. The wine is both juicy but also directly zesty and spicy, with a touch of tartness and earthy spices. There is good presence and structure and the finish proves intense and broad. It is a great barely off-dry Riesling, which needs a few years to reveal its facets.
