Wachenheimer Riesling, J. L. Wolf
Ref. 0279
Musky fruit aromas cut with some minerals and lime. In the mouth, there’s a touch of fruit sweetness countering the mineral and citrus elements. It is rich and textured with very good length. Complex enough to enjoy right now, but should age well over the mid-term.

- Other info: Founded in 1756, the J.L. Wolf estate was a very successful and highly regarded winery for more than two centuries. It entered an especially glamorous era with the construction of its Italianate estate house and villa in 1843. In the latter years of the 20th century, however, the estate languished, lacking a firm hand to guide its wine production. Ernst Loosen, of the Dr. Loosen estate, took over the vineyards in 1996, launching a dramatic turnaround in the estate’s quality and reputation.
