2021 Hattenheim Schützenhaus Riesling VDP.Erste Lage trocken, Rheingau, Germany

Quite firm, noble, still slightly smoky-reductive aroma with restrained, tart yellow-fruity aromas as well as still very delicate cheesy aromas reminiscent of roasted pork rind, which can also be attributed to the reduction, as well as quite clear minerality and plum tones. Firmly woven, largely dry, yet juicy fruit, fine, ripe acidity, some grip, persistent and quite dense on the palate, again has a certain noblesse, tones reminiscent of chanterelles, good depth, mineral tones, some umami, lots of light minerality, yeasty nuances, very good, fine-juicy and mineral, cool finish with spice reminiscent of caraway. Has class.
