Parker about Wawener Goldberg Riesling Auslese 2018
The 2018 Goldberg Riesling Auslese AP 69 20 is herbal, cool and lemony on the nose, with leafy forest floor and coolish slate aromas. Piquant, clear, fresh and with tropical fruit, this is a gorgeous, piquant and stimulating selection with lingering salinity and mineral grip. Tasted in March 2021.
