Brilliant pale straw colour with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Lime, lemon and green apple aromas jump out of the glass followed by faint bees wax, toast and steely mineral end notes. Zippy lime and lemon fruits are underscored by sizzlingly crisp, mineral infused acidity. Wet steel, green apple and flinty slate like characters linger through the tail. Excellent drive finishing dry, zesty and long.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
From red and yellow sandstone soils of the premier crus but earlier pickings and younger vines, the 2021 Wachenheimer Riesling Village offers a clear, pure, fresh, precise and flinty bouquet of concentrated lemons and ripe yellow seed fruits. Round and lush but rather crystalline, this is a fresh and linear Riesling with precise acidity that transports the wine to a stimulating, savory and grippy finish. Bring the fish! 12% stated alcohol. Drink 2023-2038.
