Tegernseerhof Riesling Bergdistel Smaragd 2019

Tegernseerhof Riesling Bergdistel Smaragd 2019

From four plots with different soils (from loess to gneiss, altitudes and expositions from southeast to southwest), Martin Mittelbachs 2019 Ried Kellerberg Riesling Smaragd is deep, complex and excitingly stony on the fine and bright yet coolish nose that delivers flinty as well as crushed lemon aromas. A fabulous nose! Rich and intense but elegant and endlessly vital and mineral, with stimulating salinity and very fine tannins on the finish, this is a great, complex, refined and elegant Kellerberg with a mouthwatering finish. A Must Buy from the vintage. 13% alcohol.

The aromas on the nose are subdued, giving a slight hint of yeast. The slender yet concentrated palate holds yeasty, salty promise and comes with a slightly pithy texture. This is still tightly coiled and needs to unfold, but freshness and savoriness will stand it in good stead. Drink 20222040.
