Nik Weis - Riesling St. Urbans-Hof 2018 (89 TS)
Today no long story about this Mosel winery. Just enjoying.
Of course you can find more info about this winery in my other post.
As a VDP member since 2000, St. Urbans-Hof has vineyards spread across 4 Grand Crus (or "Große Lage") alongside two rivers: Mosel & Saar. They are all planted with 100% Riesling on blue, grey and red slate, depending on the location. While Mosel wines usually display more feminine, softer attributes with round edges, Saar wines are known for their acidity, vivacity and lightness.
My notes:
In the glass a bright citrus yellow color.
On the medium nose aromas of green apple, pear and citrus with hints of apricot, flowers and minerals.
On the palate dry, with nice interplay between acidity and little sweetness with nice elegance and balance for such young wine. Light sweetness in the nice finish.
