Obermairl Hof Riesling 2011




An Italian Riesling from North-East.
The young vineyards, biodynamic certified, are located in the Isarco Valley.

It begins with a very fine bubble, of short duration. The nose is very "green", with the scent of hay, quite pronounced, and then also thyme, sage and pepper. The second smell is very fruity - apricot and peach - strongly tinged by minerality.

The taste, very fresh, dry and straight, resumes, with order and rightness, vegetal and fruity tones, with extensive references to the hay, herbs and peach.
The drink is adorned with clear acidity, while large doses of graphite and hydrocarbons help increasing the aromatic supply, fine, slender, but rigorous. It ends fairly long, with good persistence and high drinkability.

Combined, very stimulating and delicious, with homemade focaccia from yeast.
