2022 Weingut Daniel Vollenweider Wolfer Riesling Trocken, Mosel, Germany

The 2020er Wolfer is a bone-dry wine (with 1.6 g/l of residual sugar) made from 50-year-old vines on single poles in the terraced part of the Wolfer Goldgrube and was left for 1 year on its gross lees. It has a captivating nose of anise, ginger, herbs, jasmine, prune, licorice, and thyme. The wine shows great concentration and depth on the palate, where herbal and spicy elements add a playful and refreshing side. There is a light touch of phenolic presence, but it is not disturbing and adds presence and just needs a little bit of aging to fully integrate. What a superb fully dry Riesling. -Mosel Fine Wine
