Wonderful. Bitter, acid, sea air, so nice. More later. After a day open this is strutting with oodles of finesse and acid. Really long and refreshing. Outstanding.

Super complex nose. Herbs, spices, honeyed and high toned, lime zest, peaches, apricots, you can smell the tartness. Wow. Complex as fuck. Super textured and juicy and lovely spread and purity. Amazingly juicy and elegant with superb substance and depth. Huge acidity. Apricots and peach pith. Superb structure. Will benefit from intermediate cellaring. Long finish and perfect balance. Stunning. Such a mineral wash on the finish.

I think Battenfeld has cornerned the Pfalz crushed stone minerality market...brilliant wine. Zingy lemon rounds this excellent wine off. Already amazing but with potential. At €35 this offers top value for money and proves really for me that Riesling is the king of white wines.
Paired with homemade pesto pasta
