Color
Bright yellow, radiant and clear.
Nose
White peach, kindling, yellow apple skins and dried apricots pencil the nose of Christmann's 2017 Ruppertsberger Riesling Auslese. Notes of woodruff and orange blossom water float in the top notes. Apart with distinguished understatement
Mouth
With juicy fruit on the nose, it immediately goes ahead with full fruit. Carried by the ripe, drink-accelerating acidity, it is lean on the palate with a firm mineral structure and pleasant flow. An animating all-purpose Auslese that, thanks to its grip and minerality, is not confined to the dessert drawer, but brings the Auslese into the spotlight as an all-purpose companion.
