Familie Saahs Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau, Austria 2002 Clos de la Roche light smoke tones

light smoke tones

the Brut Reserve is a terrific introduction to the house style

There's a velvety and extremely soft texture on the palate

Subtle and energetic plum and currant aromas follow through to a gorgeously harmonized palate of wonderful fruit and an ultra-long finish

With peach and apricot notes on the nose and crisp lemon flavours on the palate

Familie Saahs Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau, Austria 2002 Clos de la Roche light smoke tonesAt first deep, dark and mysterious. Just like the Nikolaihof cellar, where this dry riesling spent 16 years in barrel. Then, a minty freshness develops that leaps out of the glass at you. By some miracle, it manages to taste ancient and lively at once. The finish is very long with great herbal complexity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certified. 98 Pts James Suckling
