2006 Kinheimer Rosenberg Reisling Auslese Füder 16,Weingut Merkelbach

Attractive notes of lime and kerosene ( admittedly doesn't sound very attractive) then a palate dominated by pear skin, peach-kernels and elderflower, the sweetness lending a spicy and tropical note and an almost lychee profile. Kinheimer's steep slopes are made up of blue Devonian slate in the vein of Erden, giving the wines an extra dimension of richness which is not evidenced in Urzig, where the slate is red.
