Louis Guntrum Riesling Dry Louis 2017

While dry and medium bodied in style, yellow-apple and quince flavors here are plump and honeyed. The palate is round and pliant, tinged by hints of saffron and finishing on a waxy slick. This is a richer style of Riesling to enjoy now–2021.

Riesling typically produces wine with relatively low alcohol, high acidity, steely minerality and stone fruit, spice, citrus and floral notes. At its ripest, it leans towards juicy peach, nectarine and pineapple, while cooler climes produce Rieslings redolent of meyer lemon, lime and green apple. With age, Riesling can become truly revelatory, developing unique, complex aromatics, often with a hint of petrol.
