Weingut Korrell, Nahe (Germany) Riesling Trocken 2022

Oct 11, 2023

By John McDermott

 With sharp, lightning-like acidity (sky high even for Riesling), Weingut Korrell’s Ersten Lagen Riesling Trocken leaves you waiting for a thunderclap.  Sourced from “First Growth” vineyards, the wine is stark and powerful, verging on austere, but maintains balance with a mixture of fruit, florality, and minerality: delicate notes of white flowers, lemon grass, lime, peach, river rocks and petrol all come through.   This wine will hold up to even the fattiest of foods — think pâté.  Indulge and enjoy!
