Riesling Piesporter Treppchen "GG"
-- Colin Hay: From an incredibly steep sloping terraced vineyard of old vines (now 90 years in age) on a silvery grey slate soil. Creamier and richer at first than the Wintricher Geierslay Kabinett but that make the tension even more remarkable. Apples and crab apples, quince and pear, with the same crystalline purity; flint and a hint of lemon balm, fennel fronds, but also a fascinating note of salted butter melting on popcorn. Rhubarb! Hyper-mineral. Hyper-pure and incredibly zesty on the palate. Crushed slate. Very fresh, almost strict but with incredible purity and pixilation, with the acidity playing a role equivalent to the tannins in a crumbly-textured limestone-terroir young St Emilion for instance. Like the Kabinett, very long on the finish. Fabulous in its potential but needing plenty of patience
