Jürgen Ellwanger 2022 Schnaiter Altenberg Riesling Grand Cru dry

"The vineyard is an amphitheatre, very steep. Half of the wine went through spontaneous fermentation.Smells of peaches, essence of peaches. Singing with purity. The fruit has fresh intensity, building sweeter and more tropical, peaches to papaya, and then fine peppery dustiness. Long, mineral line on the finish. Despite being so young, it's already delicious."
