James Suckling
What fascinating and complex citrus and stone fruit aromas this stunning GG has, and a subtle spiciness is deftly interwoven with them. Great tension and crushed rock minerality. Wonderful combination of concentration and delicacy right through the very long, impeccably balanced finish. From organically grown grapes.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
