The 2017 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese Schmitt is clear and noble on the flinty but slightly reductive nose. Lush and generous but shining and clear, precise and piquant on the palate, this is a charmingly elegant, finessed and salty Riesling of great class and style. This is a bright and beautiful Riesling from a single plot behind the church of Zeltingen. Bottled in May 2018. Tasted in March 2019.
