Country: Germany / Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese
Variety: Riesling Mosel
Winery: Joh. Jos. Prüm /
Whiffs of smoke, wet earth and pressed apples seem subtle on the nose of this dainty auslese, belying the shock of sweet tangerine and grapefruit flavors that flood the palate. A nervous fringe of acidity bristles the palate, cutting through streaks of honey and nectar. It’s powerful and concentrated, yet ephemeral in its delicacy.
