The 2015 Riesling Pfoeller was the first Riesling Felix Meyer picked in that warm and dry year (with around 103 degrees Oechsle on September 12th). It opens with a nice lemon-freshness and the smoky purity of shell limestone (Muschelkalk) that reminds me of smoked dates and cold ashes. The attack on the palate is pure and fresh, stunningly finesse-full and silky. Only in the piquant, fresh and stimulatingly salty finish you get the stewed fruit flavors of the 2015 vintage, but due to the grip and tension of the Pfoeller, this is still well integrated. This is a nicely creamy textured wine and its finish is fresh, nicely bitter and piquant, with attractive grapefruit flavors and a lingering salinity. An excellent 2015.
