Domäne Wachau Ried Loibenberg Riesling Federspiel 2020

Cool, delicately vegetal scent with very restrained yellow-fruity aromas. Delicate, bright, excellent fruit, soft yeasty tones, a hint of nuttiness, animating acidity, tart-mineral and slightly grippy on the palate, good to perfect, quite firm, tart finish with dry herb notes. There are always tones of muscat, apricot chutney, ginger flavours and spice on the finish.

92 Falstaff, who wrote, 'Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine yellow tropical fruit on the nose, hints of mango and blossom honey with mineral notes and tangerine zest in the background. Light-footed, white fruit, elegant acidity with a lemony-salty finish.'
