2022 Riesling QbA Trocken

Picked at 84° Oechsle and with 10 grams per liter of total acidity (with 70% to 75% tartaric acidity intentionally), the 2022 Riesling Trocken opens with a clear and ripe nose that is not as brilliant as in the years before. The fruit is ripe; it definitely sawn the sun and was picked ripe. This leads to a quite rich and mouth-filling palate (23 grams per liter of sugar-free extract) with good body and very fresh and racy acidity. The wine is elegant, mineral and forceful, with remarkable freshness from a supposedly coolish year. 11.8% alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in August 2023.
