Quarzit Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Riesling 2010

hogshead wine had some insights on this wine, which i found to be accurate and informative: "The 2010 Riesling Quarzit, which is from the vintage remarkably high in both acidity and sugar, took several days to settle down and reveal itself. Now that I am drinking a bit more Riesling I have noticed the use of “sponti” in the notes of both Terry Theise and Lyle Fass. This is a term used to describe the wild or stinky aromas in a Riesling due to the fermentation with indigenous yeasts. This bottle definitely exhibited sponti so if you want to experience this aroma then that is reason alone to buy this bottle! ... There was a brighter start with ample acidity, a slight Pilsner note (sponti from the natural yeast) before the residual sugar came out midpalate, followed by tart fruit in the finish. After two days the wine became integrated as it revealed tart white fruit which prickled the tip of the tongue then put on weight as freshly focused yellow fruit came out." — 11 years ago
