WinewhitedryWeißer Riesling

2016 Erden Treppchen Riesling “Steel” Qualitätswein trocken

Germany

Mosel • Geschützte Ursprungsbezeichnung (g. U.)

Amtliche Prüfungsnummer 2582071 19 17 • 12.5 % vol alcohol

15.5🯅⚖

Tasted on 21 October 2023 by Werner Elflein

Light yellow colour. Quite a closed powdery fragrance with a reductive component. Otherwise shows greater similarities with the Wood version. However, despite being aged in stainless steel, it appears fuller and creamier in the centre. Green-herbaceous minerality, very long. In the slimming finish with a slight phenolic bitterness.

Light yellow colour. Extremely focussed, both on the nose and in the mouth. Clear fruit expression, a hint of strawberry, but also with a somewhat reductive character. On the palate with a vegetal note, a certain phenolic flavour and polished acidity. As expected, emphasises minerality and has rough edges. Very good length. Combines slender elegance with stoic composure.

Light yellow colour. Open and well-developed on the nose. Hints of yellow fruit, green leaves, blackcurrant and eucalyptus with a delicate mineral note. On the palate, probably the finest and most balanced Riesling of the trio Steel, Stone and Wood. Shows very good complexity and a certain creaminess, especially on the finish. Traces of nettle and woodruff. Slightly herbaceous, with piquant acidity and excellent length. Contrary to our initial prognosis, it has developed very positively.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
