Weingut Knewitz Appenheim Rheinhessen Nieder-Hillbersheim Trocken 2022 750ml

The first impression comes through notes of yellow fruit, refreshing anise, and medicinal herbs and flowers. Slowly the layers unfurl to reveal nuances of chamomile, mallow, marigold, muscat sage, lemon thyme, as well as ripe Williams pear, black tea and bergamot orange. The wine is dry, with a rigid backbone of acidity and minerality; its moderate concentration fits the slender body and smoky, powerful finish. Mouthwatering bitter nuances redolent of grapefruit zest mark the finale. A truly exceptional Riesling demonstrating beautiful power and thrill, as well as an unmistakable expression of terroir on both the nose and palate.
