2009 Rauenthal Nonnenberg Riesling Q.b.A.

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2009er Rauenthaler Nonnenberg was fermented down to 5 g/l of residual sugar, i.e. at legally dry levels. It develops a tantalizingly pure and floral nose driven by anise, almond and grapefruit. The floral side carries over onto the delicate yet intense palate. The wine goes crescendo as it gains in presence and spiciness right into the subtly tart, pure and vibrating finish. This magnificent dry Riesling transcends the ripeness of the 2009 vintage.
