Oestricher Doosberg, Alte Reben, Trocken, 2013

A wonderful old vines cuvee from the Doosberg, a vineyard in the running for promotion to Grosses Gewäch, fermented in large oak casks with wild yeasts. The fruit here is broad and rich, barroque by Riesling standards, with ample melon, conference pear and almond blossom notes, and an almost chewy extract on the finish.
