This is a terrific dry Riesling from Robert Weil’s VDP Erste Lage Turmberg vineyard. It displays the concentration and depth of flavor that you’d expect from a master vintner and a top site and vintage, yet retains Riesling’s magically lithe, effortless freshness. Subtle floral aromas lead to open, expressive flavors of apples, stone fruits and tangerines, with wonderfully integrated acidity and intriguing mineral undertones that provide interplay with the fruit and keep this interesting sip after sip until you’ve drained the bottle, as I did, joyfully.
