Fio Riesling, Philipp Kettern 2015 (Mosel, Germany)

The 2015 Mosel Riesling Fio displays an intense, golden-yellow color and opens with an intense and tropical-scented bouquet with a richness and lactic creaminess that is reminiscent of clich Alsace rather than Mosel, though the lovely slate tone is virtually missing in Alsatian wines. On the palate, this is a light rather than medium-bodied, refined and elegant Piesporter with stimulating grip and salinity on the finish
