Schafer-Frohlich, Felseneck Riesling Spatlese 2017 Half Bottle Inspired by Scotland's mountainsBeautifully balanced by an invigorating acidity, this semi sweet Riesling shows pronounced aromas of ripe citrus fruit and nectarine with hints of exotic spices and brambly herb, underlined by notes of smoke and a flinty minerality. Lip smacking and intensely concentrated, it will improve well through 2035 and likely hold further.
