"Porphyr" Nahe Riesling
Nahe, Germany
I drink Mosel reisling when I want to share with my wife, but when I drink on my own or with homeboys( whenever that may be), I go Nahe. Lock n load minerality and a very dense mix of slate, salt, & peach. A tic above room temp & the rs comes through. Balanced. Skurnik importer.

Maybe not the fireworks of a Dönnhoff or Schönleber, but a damn good glass of Nahe from a big, fatty vintage. Yellow cherries and ripe pineapple, buttressed by excellent structure and barely-there wet slate minerality.

Smoky struck flint wreaths, white peach, fig and lime on the nose. The palate impression is glossy and lusciously-fruited, with a bittersweet, crunchy hint of cassis berries adding to its appeal. The residual sugar is supportive, yet not perceived as outright sweetness. Hints of smoke persist intriguingly in a lingering finish. This lovely example of “hidden sweetness” in Riesling – coincidentally harboring the same 17 grams of residual sugar as its vintage 2016 predecessor – weighs in at slightly higher alcohol (exactly 12%) but preserves a nice sense of lift to accompany its animating juiciness. The source this year is half from Hexamer’s Schlossböckelheimer In den Felsen and half from a nearly adjacent portion of Schlossböckelheimer Mühlberg owned by a semi-retired grower whom Hexamer says farms conscientiously and is proud of the grapes he sells.

Soooooo goooooood. Just a hint of RS that was perfectly integrated to take edge off wine and give it a kumquat/lemongrass sweetness
