2018/19 Filzener Herrenberg Big growth

Basic price: 32.00 €/l 

The Grosse Gewächs vom Herrenberg does not try to impress the nose with aromatic exuberance, but relies entirely on a subtle fragrance composition that combines local and Provençal elements with lavender, thyme, meadow flowers and lemon blossom. On the palate it is a bit more compact, the wine shows pressure and substance. The taste of apricots is on the tongue, but less with juicy sweetness than with firm flesh, a cool core and a delicate, bitter skin. It's not all about fruit though, invigorating acidity and hints of nutmeg set their own stimulating accents. Packs well without the harmony suffering as a result.
