Kloster Eberbach – Marcobrunn Riesling 2014 – Rheingau Großes Gewächs VDP

Light golden colour, light to a medium deep golden colour I should say. Rather intense nose bordering on tropical fruit. There is a rather pineapple, mango, grapefruit, really ripe citrus. Yet, with good purity and that presence of minerality. Palate has a good grip, classically dry with bright acidity. It is medium weight, with a spicy yellow fruit, such as pineapple, apricot, with some hints of saffron. Some peppery notes. Good grip. There is a slight hint of extract as well. Quite long finish. Pretty lingering, still youthful and restrained. Doubtlessly a wine with fine potential for further development.
