Burg Ravensburg 2017 Riesling Kapellenberg Grosses Gewaechs

We had been coveting the Riesling from this tiny filet vineyard since we first encountered it, but had to wait for the luscious 2015 to get any. Kapellenberg enjoys a combination of limestone-sandstone and volcanic soil unique among the holdings of the estate. It gives rise to a ravishingly aromatic wine, more on the “green” than the “yellow” side of Riesling. It shows admirable precision and finesse in 2017.
