Country: Germany / Vom Muschelkalk Spätlese Trocken
Variety: Riesling Pfalz
Winery: Ökonomierat Rebholz /
This stunning dry Riesling somehow manages to seamlessly combine such disparate elements as orange sherbet, smoky-briny minerality, a creamy mouthfeel and ample weight. It’s a wild ride, one that values power and complexity without sacrificing elegance. Hard to know how it will age, but at least 5–10 years seems a safe bet.
