Emmerich Knoll Riesling Federspiel 2015

Not your typical 2015 Wachau, where the vintage tends toward softness and generosity, this Loibner Federspiel holds its ground with brisk, almost assertive acidity. Lime and green apple drive the palate, edged with a tartness that keeps everything lively rather than plush. Iodine and wet stone add a saline, flinty dimension that lifts the wine beyond simple refreshment. The finish is clean and sustained. Drink now.
