Villa Wolf
Ernst Loosen Pfalz Wachenheimer Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
Stone fruit on the nose, a touch of apricot delight, some pineapple too. Smells ripe. The medium to light bodied palate is something of a surprise, with some spritz and sugar to go with fairly intense glazed apricot and peach, with grapefruity acidity keeping it brisk. Not particularly long but like the balance and the way that its generous instincts are dialled back to make it a pleasant supper right the way through the bottle. Very enjoyable Pfalz Riesling with good character at a good price.

First opened up to fresh and brandied apricot being the sweeter note amongst some ripe citrus and green apple. Its developed into a nose of tangy lemon starburst, honeysuckle, orange blossom, some exotic tropical fruits and some feint slate-like character. Plenty of zippy, spritzy acid adding a little bit to a medium body. The palate is dry despite being lead down a potential off-dry path expressing its citrus qualities. Longer than medium finish, probably drank a little young. 3-5 more years and she'll be a peach 👌
