Weingut St. Urbans-Hof
An elegant, crisp and fruity Riesling with a hint of natural residual sweetness. This wine has the typical light character of the Riesling grape and the style of a classic Mosel Riesling.
Wine Spectator
Fresh Jonagold and McIntosh apple aromas and flavors, with a hint of black currant leaf, mark this juicy, vibrant white, which is balanced, leaving a mouthwatering impression. Drink now through 2014. 12,000 cases made.
Score: 90. —Bruce Sanderson, June 15, 2010.Wine Advocate
The generic St. Urbans-Hof 2008 Riesling this year favors fruit from Wiltingen and Leiwen (including declassified Laurentiuslay, although as proprietor Nik Weis is quick to point out, in the context of such a high-volume wine, that contribution is minor). Fresh lime, sage, kirsch, as well as saline and smoky notes grace the nose of this excellent value, which is a bit sweeter and richer – if slightly less infectious – than Weis’s “Urban Riesling” bottling. It needs a year or so to entirely digest its sweetness and allow for enhanced expressiveness and versatility but is already a succulent success.
