A. Christmann Riesling Trocken '20

Crisp and dry with a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity, this Riesling has convinced more than a few skeptics of the variety to embrace it. It's made in the Pfalz region, in southwestern Germany, by A. Christmann, a legendary estate that has been making wine here since the late 16th century. The Christmann family own portions of some of the great sites in the Pfalz and practice biodynamic viticulture. The 2020 Riesling Trocken was produced from the first pickings of several classified sites—the Gimmeldingen, Deidesheim, and Ruppertsberg vineyards. The aromas on this wine are high-toned, with  grapefruit, lemon peel, green pear, and mineral notes. It's lithe on the palate, with a long finish.
