Ernst Loosen, Villa Wolf Dry Riesling, Pfalz, Germany, 2014

From a warm, sunny part of Germany, just an hour’s drive north of Alsace, comes this relatively restrained Riesling offering classic stony and steely notes. Expressive ripe peach balanced by pristine acidity. It’s only starting to show some waxy, petrol notes, and no doubt it will continue to develop.
