Star bright straw gold in the glass. Shy nose of quince-y green apple. Firm, bracing acidity (the decanter is your friend) introduces a medium light palate of flinty green apple and dried white flowers. Finish is long, but has a fading character: it fades out gradually. For a long time i thought that German Riesling lost some of its character when it’s fermented dry, and to an extent I still do. Still, there are numerous examples of Trocken that display a character of their own. This is one. Not quite as much as a dry Mosel, but definitely more than in a dry Rhein. Rich terrestrial white wine fare (pork, of course) is a natural pair.

Acidity city! Not as lengthy and glorious as the previous wine but a great acidity and river rock.

2012 Löhrer Berg Riesling

U: Lätt gyllengrön.

D: Stor fräsch doft. Ananas, gröna äpplen. Lite mineralisk.

S: Stor med härlig spritsig syra. Tropisk frukt, lite grapelik beska samt rostat bröd i svansen. Ren fräsh lång avslutning. Gott.
