Brauneberger Juffer, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2021

Complex and clear-eyed. Salty and limey and with crystalline definition. Racy, with fine extract and a real sense of energy and detail. A taut structure at its core, with crisp and persistent fruit pepped up with a fresh but fully ripe acid character. It manages to maintain the racy finesse and pixelation of the vintage whilst not being in any way hard. Sadly, only about half a crop of GGs were produced in 2021.
