Description of the wine Riesling Gueberschwihr 1997
The south facing limestone soils from Gueberschwihr produced a very mineral riesling. It is always a slow maturing wine, still closed but it posses in 97 a very good balance and good structure. The nice ripe acidity balances the long palate and the residual sweetness (the highest from all Rieslings).
