Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Estate Riesling 2020

The Estate Riesling...is made from a selection of younger vines in the estate's top grand cru vineyards and is very elegant, offering up 10.5 percent alcohol; it had been bottled just ahead of Prowein. The wine was still showing a touch timidly on the nose after its mise, but with a bit of coaxing showed elements of pear, slate, wild yeasts and a lovely top note of white flowers. On the palate the wine was much more on form, displaying a medium-full format, bright, zesty acids, fine focus and grip and lovely backend mineral drive on the long, balanced and classy finish.
