Riesling FIO
The 2015er Piesporter Fio, as it is referred on the central part of the label, was made fruit harvested in the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, was fermented and aged without any additive or other intervention in large casks for 24 months before being bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulfur added (30 mg/l). It will be released commercially at the end of 2020. This bright yellow-white colored wine offers a superb nose made of ripe herbs, fine spices, candied grapefruit, and chalky minerals, all wrapped into some slate-infused reduction. The wine proves packed with engagingly fresh and complex flavors on the beautifully light, tart and remarkably multi-layered palate (the wine only has 11.5% alcohol). The finish proves gorgeously long and beautifully refined. A touch of hard tartness still needs to integrate in the after-taste and does already recede after a day of airing. The potential here is immense, even if it will only fully blossom in a few years. But; lovers of light-footed and elegant dry Riesling should plunge upon this! 2023-2030+ 94/100
