Kai Schätzel Querkopf 2017

White
Rheinhessen, Germany
7.3
WineSaint

Vivid and saline, with citrus pith and wet stone driving through the nose from the steep Nackenheimer Rotenberg slopes. A trace of wildflower honey softens the bright lime acidity without ever tipping into sweetness, and a faint curl of smoke lifts the finish into something more intriguing. Low alcohol, precise, and tightly-knit — Silvaner stripped down to its purest expression.
