Riesling Ried Edelschuh 2021 GSTK Wohlmuth

Overview

James Suckling (97 pts.) comments on it this way: "Dangerously refreshing and with enormous aging potential." Yellow stone fruit, a touch of mandarins, delicate wildflower honey. Juicy and subtle nuances of pineapple and passion fruit, very precise and pure in texture, it closes with a long and persistent finish.
