James Suckling
"Riesling from a volcanic German terroir that James Suckling says is "hard not to like"!
"Produced mainly from volcanic soils, Riesling Trocken 2021 is very clear, fresh and flinty with a precise, reductive nose that shows ripe but concentrated fruit with aromas of white peach and apricot. Light and very stimulating on the palate, this is a saline, crisp and grippy Riesling with juicy fruit and a mineral expression of Nahe." (Wine Advocate 2022). Screw cap

About the wine:
Brimming with stone fruit, this juicy dry Riesling is hard not to love. Very lively and light, it also owes its moderate alcohol (11.5%), mineral acidity and spritz of natural carbon dioxide, which really enhance the clean finish. Made from Fair'n Green certified grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.
