Rheingau, Germany
This 2016 Riesling wine is made from late-harvested grapes, so it is sweet. However, it is sweet in a different way than a dessert wine is sweet. There is no layered sugar, no raisiny note. I get the sweetness of the grapes, and the minerals which accompany them. Stone fruit is apparent, as is the smell of a wet driveway, a whiff of ozone and the faint petrol notes that begin to show in Rieslings over time. This may be one of the best examples of the grape that I have had.

Super clean fresh nose. A mid-palate bursting with beautifully balanced fruit wrapped in a ball of acid. An extended finish that will grow after a few years of aging. @James Forsyth thanks for the thumbs up , Stubborn Seed.
