"The 2020 Wachenheim R Riesling trocken opens with a deep, clear, intense and complex, lemony and saline bouquet that indicates first maturity. Full-bodied, tight and intense on the palate, this is a juicy and saline Riesling that is quite powerful and tannic and fruitier, rounder and juicier than the 2023 Wachenheimer Riesling. This is still young and asking for patience. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025."
