Monchhof Robert Eymael Riesling Kabinett Urziger Wurzgarten 2015

The slate character here is classic Würzgarten, combining the cool, fragrant tones of blue slate with spicier, earthier notes of red volcanic soils. There are powerful aromas of white peach, red currant and Asian pear, bound by a structure so vibrant it feels electric, but it's the clear expression of minerality that makes this wine special. A beauty, with both intensity and cut. More unevolved than others, this offers grapefruit, peach and mineral flavors matched to a keen acidity. Good lingering finish.
