Color:
In bright lemon yellow with light silvery reflections, the wine appears clear and shiny in the glass.
Nose:
Just as proudly as the high-altitude vines look out over their home region from their rows, this resulting wine from the house of Odinstal is the epitome of a Palatinate Riesling. At the same time, it is blessed with stringent individuality and compact clarity. Apple, lime and acacia blossoms meet fresh Saturn peach, kumquats and kaffir lime leaves. Adding depth to this fragrance are aromas of white pepper and vervain, as well as fennel seed, dried turmeric and a hint of white smoke.
Palate:
In the paradoxical field of tension between juiciness, creamy texture and meticulously steely substance, the 2017 Riesling Basalt from the Hensel and Andreas Schumann family takes off and transforms. Fruity and expressive, it immediately shows off its multi-dimensionality on the palate, and pulls emphatically on a tautly stretched strand of acidity. Its power lies in its sheer elegance and equally infectious and graceful balance. Always well-meaning and with charismatic radiance, with all modesty, taking over the room, this rarity is the Dalai Lama among Rieslings.
