Kalkofen-Riesling

Riesling KALKOFEN 2024

Salty mineral notes followed by delicate suggestions of fruit reminiscent of overripe grapes, a little bread crust, stone fruit and orange zest; the “crisp coolness” with a hint of mint leaves is also detectable; everything is highly focused and impresses with clarity and finesse.
