Someone brought this bottle of GG Riesling to a
dinner last week. As with my previous experience, it seems that Felsenberg is
the name of the vineyard; the name of the village was on the "back label", which
is the label that matters in Law as it contained the legally required
information. The village in this case is a famous one, Schlossbockelheim.
Although I had not encountered either the grower or the site, I had great hopes
because it is a GG Riesling, and my expectations were well satisfied. An old
gold colour, the wine had a sweet peachy honeyed nose. Technically a dry wine
(with little residual sugar) but with such fruitiness that it seemed slightly
sweet on entry, displaying prune and honey notes on the palate well supported by
a plummy pruney acidity as backbone. Very nice!!
