Marcel Deiss Engelgarten Bergheim 2005

A first bottle of the 2005 Marcel Deiss Engelgarten Bergheim lacked a mid palate but the sweetness I suppose matched a foie gras appetizer adequately enough.

A second bottle was opened, however, and a very different story: grip, poise (certainly a mid palate), with sweetness but matching acidity for balance.

Notes of orange peel, bergamot and wet stone made it special. “Drinkability” high!

A blend of grapes including Pinot Gris and Riesling. 12.5% alcohol. Residual sugar seems like 10-12 grams per liter.

Thank you for the note, Panos. I have not had the 2005 Engelgarten, but have enjoyed it in a few other vintages.
