Suckling over Rothlauf Silvaner Großes Gewächs 2022
A unique GG that has more in common with great dry rieslings grown on the same red sandstone soil type than with any other silvaners thanks to its deep wild berry and herb character. Also notes of Amalfi lemon peel and flint. Mouthwatering wet stone minerality and zesty acidity gives the very long finish plenty of drive. Excellent aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor
