The Mantlerhof 2007 Riesling Zehetnerin is scented with clover, fresh apple, black currant, and lime, all of which carry over to a delightfully refreshing, flower-chomping, and subtly stony palate impression with long lasting tart apple skin and flowers in the finish. More fun than rolling in a meadow, this excellent value will delight over the next year or two. It’s hard to believe it has nearly 13% alcohol given its levity. It is always a fascinating fun to chat and taste with Josef Mantler, who generously opens ancient bottles from his remarkable reserves for many of his visitors, especially in order to point to the complex virtues and longevity of difficult vintages. I am not sure whether 2007 will go down in his annals as difficult, but he certainly scored numerous successes this year. Mantler – who practices biodynamic viticulture – harvested most of this crop in late September and early October.Importer:Bill Mayer Age of Riesling Selections Imported by Valley View Wine Sales, Glen Ellen, CA; tel (510) 549 2444
