Wasenhaus
Landwein Riesling
Germany
Shy, muted nose, flirting between the naturalistic and the classical.
Bruised apple, baked lemon, hay, meadow flowers.
The magic happens on the palate. Slightly richer mouthfeel balanced by racy, zippy, bright acidity. There’s a hint of tannins, brilliant energy & tension, and a core of minerality underneath the the shy apples, apricots & lemons.
This doesn’t taste like a Riesling at first, yet deep inside it has some cues.
At 11.5% this is brilliantly drinkable!
Only downside - bloody difficult to get & it ain’t cheap.
