Ried Nussberg

Structured on the dot, timeless and incredibly delicate. This Nussberg will make history as one of the winery’s most outstanding vintages. Everything exactly as it should be. The wine is incredibly cheerful, the primary nose with alternating aromas of red berries and red bell pepper. Needs some breathing and after a day or so, reveals the typical cassis notes. The bouquet also reminiscent of camomile and asparagus. Spicy-minerally elements come forward, almost with a scent of ground pink pepper in the glass, the wine is highly compact and palpable. Still a very long way to go. (Arno Bergler – WeinErleben)
