Vinous - 2018 Westhofen KIRCHSPIEL Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Klaus Peter Keller

Lime, lavender, chalk dust and sea breeze on the nose anticipate the pungency, zest, stoniness and mouthwatering salinity that prevail on a polished but firm palate. On top of that, there is an ingratiating as well as refreshing abundance of primary juiciness, as well as added complexity by way of pungent green tea. The finish is startlingly bright, focused and penetrating, adding a savory dimension to the aforementioned herbal, saline and chalky elements for a mouthwatering evocation of raw oyster. - David Schildknecht, Nov. 2020
