Kettern + DD Teppo Niepoort 2020 Riesling

Very clean and precise nose of wet stones, kaffir lime leaves, citrus zests, and a whiff of petrol. The palate is precise and on the dry side with flavors of white fleshed stone fruits, lime leaves, and lemon all bound up by excellent acidity and a white stone minerality. D&M Tasting Notes

Teppo Riesling from the Mosel is a project driven by 3. Dirk Niepoort as the ‘artiste’ of Portugal fame, Daniel Niepoort his son ,in collaboration with Philipp Kettern of Germany. The winery project is called Fio, based in the Mosel. A wine of minimal intervention, aged in fuder and left on the lees. This wine is is not defined by the laws of ‘natural’ wines, though it is a great example that wine of this ‘nature’ can be profound, ‘clean’ and direct. Let us call a spade a spade! It is a wine that is built to age over time, though tasting on the day, this Riesling offers up precision, elegance and delicatessen!. Christopher Sealy, Arc of Flavours
