Carl Loewen Riesling Ritsch GG 2020

The most fruit driven of the Loewen GG’s, but that’s not to say purely fruit driven. Nettles, buttered mushrooms, clove and flint, cut through by lime marmalade, green apple, ruby grapefruit, green mango and honey. Supple and rich, almost full bodied, with hints of almond paste and ginger. Quite open and silky, with plenty of acidity. Refined and lucid palate, ethereal, without the drama of Loewen’s other wines. This is not to imply criticism, just a statement of difference, indeed, I think many drinkers will prefer the Ritsch due to its greater volume of fruit and transparent structure. Stunning and incredible value. Waters Wine Co
