Van Volxem – Scharzhofberger Pergentsknopp – Riesling 2022

This Riesling has a pale lemon colour. Expectedly it is still closed on the nose, so far very yeasty, needs more time to develop. The palate shows a lot of tension, crisp, electric acidity, lemons, tight and dense texture. Citrus fruits are dominating the linear finish. Great potential. Come back in a few years.
