Waltraud Riesling DO 2018 - Miguel Torres

The Waltraud Riesling from Miguel Torres presents itself in a shiny, light yellow with golden shades. In the characterful, strongly pronounced bouquet, the origin and grape variety are clearly recognizable. In addition to fruity aromas of apples, peaches and apricots, notes of honeysuckle, some honey and hazelnut as well as delicate, spicy notes (nutmeg) are to be smelled.

The characteristic aromas of apples and citrus fruits also characterise the palate. A spicy hint of bergamot and a shallow minerality expand the taste. A clear, riesling fresh acidity is added, which is present over the entire length.

Waltraud Riesling owes its name to the wife of Miguel A. Torres. The German artist was also able to express herself on the label. For her, Torres may not have moved mountains, but at least vines, because he planted the original German grape variety Riesling in Spain, as a kind of companion from home.
