Saale-Unstrut Steinmeister Riesling Spätl. 2020 Weingut Hey

Overview

The nose is dominated by meadow herbs and a light salinity, until typical aromas of white peach, mango and pear emerge. In the mouth you can perceive a lot of fresh fruit and a little sweetness, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is much leaner than the sugar content might suggest. Long and creamy finish.
