Wieninger Riesling Nussberg 2016

At 13.5% alcohol, this is a fuller-bodied Riesling, though it wears the weight gracefully — a step back from the 2015 and noticeably more composed for it. Lemon zest and mustard seed give the nose a pungent, almost Grüner-like character, bridging the grape varieties that share this hillside. Fresh citrus — lemon, lime, a splash of yellow tomato — keeps things lively on a satiny, smooth-textured palate. The finish crackles with bittersweet nuttiness and a bright, piquant persistence that leaves you reaching for another sip.
