Picked ten days later than a corresponding, slightly sharp Kabinett trocken, the Pfeffingen 2008 Ungsteiner Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese trocken radiates bright citrus in the nose and on the palate, along with ripe yellow plum; without any sharpness; with its herbal aspects enhancing the sense of refreshment; and smoky, saline notes adding invigoration to the finish. This lean but extract-rich wine should be worth following for at least half a dozen years, if paired adeptly at table. It threatened to become another 2006, said Jan Eymael of the mid-September, 2008 rain, but even in the warmest parts of the Pfalz the weather stayed relatively cool, and he did not pick the first Rieslings until September 30, then continuing off and on for three weeks. The later it got, the better the grapes became, comments Eymael. Another month on the vine allowed for the November 18 picking of two magnificent nobly sweet Scheureben.Importer: Rudi Wiest, Cellars International, Carlsbad, CA; tel. (800) 596-9463
