Tasting notes
The 2020 Morstein Riesling GG shows very clear, bright, precise and ripe fruit with fine limestone notes and lots of fresh lemon juice. On the palate, it is slender and precise, very elegant but firm and robust. Overall, it is still restrained and developing very slowly due to the tannins, but it's very long and very promising, which is a pretty good performance for an early-starter vintage like 2020. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

The Morstein already impresses visually with a bright greenish robe. The nose is tempted with exotic fruit from citrus to pineapple, complemented by delicate spicy and earthy nuances. Very rich and seductive on the palate in its presentation of peach, pineapple and caramelised orange. Acidity lies very low, which emphasises the opulent character of the taste but interest is raised by spicy and mineral nuances. A hint of clove seems to point at tastefully applied wood-ageing. (MS)
