2015 Ehrenfelser Landwein, Rheinhessen, Germany

Clearly visible carbon dioxide in the glass. Prominent yeasty notes, fresh floral and vegetal notes, delicate nutty notes, partly mature yellow fruit, must apples and some egg yolk, light yellow spice, some iodine, hint of clay. Juicy ripe fruit on the palate, ground walnuts, sea salt, some more yellow spice, smoky notes, broccoli and jasmine tea, earthy traces, ripe acidity, fine sandy tannins, fairly persistent, has its own character, lively mousse on a good finish.
