Nik Weis: Schiefer Riesling VDP.ESTATE WINES
Schiefer Riesling VDP.ESTATE WINES
- Varieties: 100% Riesling
- Type: White
- Region: Mosel, Germany
- Alcohol Level: 12.0%
Wine Description:
Grown on both blue and red slate, the Schiefer Riesling is a true ambassador for the winery Nik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof which cultivated vineyards in incredibly steep slopes from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen in the Mosel valley to the Ockfener Bockstein in the Saar valley.
Tasting Note:
The smell reminds of wild spices and wet stone as well as juicy, yellow fruits. On the palate, flavors of ripe peaches, freshly cut spices, citrus fruits, apricots, flint and apples join the aromatic spectrum. Refined dishes like summer salads with herbs and berries, grilled white meat, stews from beef or pork as well as pasta and risotto variations are highly recommended to pair with this mineral and well-balanced Riesling.
