Muller Catoir Gutswein Riesling One litre

The one litre-bottled Gutswein 2016 is a blend of Riesling (at least 85%), with lesser amounts of Rieslaner, Scheurebe and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and comes entirely from the 2016 harvest. You won't find the vintage on the bottle as a Gutswein classification doesn't allow for such trifling matters. As always, this is a lot of fun and pleasure and a cracking value. Even at this level the fruit is hand harvested, mainly from the Estate’s valley floor holdings. This is a lightning-bolt of racy, pithy freshness although in 2016 there’s also plenty of silky texture and depth to balance out the ‘zing’. Nonetheless, liquid invigoration is the name of the game with this wonderful dinner party option. As you might expect, it’s magic with shellfish and oysters.
