2020 Riesling, Trocken, Eva Fricke, Rheingau, Germany

Description

The nose is super fresh, with both tart green and juicy red apple, and an invigorating fresh sea breeze character. It is incredibly youthful: a sherbet sensation and slight spritz hits the palate on the first sip. The initially keen and bright acidity relaxes on the palate; there is an underlying note of white peach. The wine is ripe, yet saline and pure; it is zippy, fresh and harmonious, leaving a salty tang on the long finish. Full of energy and deliciously alive, this would be great with oysters or pan-fried sea bass.

Drink 2021-2024.

About this wine

Riesling

Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.
