In his book “Terrassenkultur an der Untermosel” (Edition Krieger, 2003) Joachim Krieger writes about the Katteneser Steinchen: “This is also the location of the steepest part of the terraces, the steep Mursberg with its fine blue slate soil, which produces very low but sometimes very fine yield in dry years (with luxuriant peach aromas).” 2018 is a dry year, and in fact, in addition to fully ripe citrus aromas, it is also a peach scent that is both crystal clear and omnipresent, which rises from the bright yellow glass into the nose. In the mouth with juicy freshness and creamy texture. A filigree Riesling fruit dances on the tongue and counteracts perfectly the fullness reminiscent of a vintage like 2003. The residual sugar is very well balanced and should be the guarantor for an excellent maturity of the wine. Very good length.

Mosel • Geschützte Ursprungsbezeichnung (g. U.)

Amtliche Prüfungsnummer 1649017 14 19 • 13 % alcohol

Tasted on 19 January 2020 by Werner Elflein

Delicate yellow-green. The nose is characterized by a protruding fruitiness with scents of ripe, light, partly tropical fruits. Juicy and animating on the tongue. Nuanced, fine and elegant acidity. Gruff minerality. Very good length.
