2011 Mayer The Doktor Riesling

mayer doktor rizzaMade by Timo Mayer with grapes sourced from Remstal in Württemberg (near Stuttgart in the southern parts of Germany). Trollinger country but I’m glad this is a Riesling. Designated kabinett trocken.

Lime zest, sherbet and lemon curd extending into a little custard apple and pear. Maybe a hint of spice. Tastes solids-y but I don’t have the technical details. Lovely mouthfeel anyway. Somewhere between wax and glycerol but not in a fat Gris or Viognier sense. Good length along with appreciable body and weight. I like the touch of phenolic grip at the end. Enjoyable and different. 91 Good – Very Good
