WTN: Mathern Riesling Auslese

This 2001Mathern Auslese Riesling from the Niederhauser Rosenberg vineyard in the Nahe was in excellent condition at 10 years. There was great sweetness balanced by fine acidity. The color was a bright brassy gold and had a nose and palate of intense peach and boytritis. Consumed during a night of euchre, I think it improved my cards and certainly my general demeanor. abv of %8

Hi Jim -

Thank you for the interesting note on a producer that I don't read much about. I finally discovered Mathern after Terry Theise had already stopped importing them, and thus have only had one of their wines to date.
