Niersteiner Bruckchen Riesling Kabinett, Strub 2022

After all the tongue-numbing work of blending it, we ended up with a fairly simple cuvee of three tanks. We waffled; one blend was really fennely but the other, we agreed, was more suave, with more polish and repose. Not that it lacks energy; it has minerality and its roasted-corn typicity has less scallion than usual.Elegantly long finish.

This expressive Riesling bursts with flavors of lemon, lime, pineapple and mint. Invigorating and fresh, this wine pairs well with blue cheese and desserts.
