Tement, Manfred - Morillon Zieregg Große STK Lage 2013

FALSTAFF: "Leuchtendes Gelb, Silberreflexe. Feine Kräuterwürze, ein kaum merklicher Touch von Holz, reife gelbe Fruchtnoten, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, engmaschig, elegante Textur, feine Apfelfrucht, integrierte Säure, mineralisch und anhaltend, weiße Nuancen im Finale, noch sehr jugendlich, großes Zukunftspotenzial."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From 30-year-old vines, fermented for one year in small barrels and aged for another six months in stainless steel (without the addition of sulfur), the 2013 Morillon Zieregg was bottled unfiltered in July 2015; it opens pure and mineral on the nose, and reflects its great shell limestone terroir in 450 meters altitude, with floral and lemon aromas. Compared to the corresponding Zieregg Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), this Morillon (Chardonnay) seems leaner and straighter, but is very intense and compact, well structured and powerful. The finish is long and grippy, a bit austere, but full of tension and potential. There is a great finesse and salivating salinity in this wine that is surely on the quality level of the Zieregg Sauvignons. Keep this "Grosse STK Lage" cru for another five to 15 years and don't miss to try it."
