Riesling 'Dry', Hermann J. Wiemer 2022

This has exceptional body for a dry riesling (it doesn’t taste particularly dry, but it’s not at all sweet). The ripe fruit is almost tropical in its golden hue, with accents of peach and pear. It’s plush but fi nishes racy and fi rm, with a phenolic grip for poached pike.

Beautiful fresh-pineapple aroma with hints of yellow grapefruit zest, candied lemon and graphite. Excellent balance of stone-fruit juiciness, medium body and citrusy freshness.
