Furst Lowenstein Sophie Lowenstein Schönhell 2012 mauzac crushed stonesAn elegant, nuanced dry Riesling which has benefited from first class single vineyard sourcing for its grapes, use of some botrytis affected components (noble rot), and extended maturation on lees. This wine sits alongside Coronilla as a true luxury Riesling, allow time to breathe before serving (or decant) or carefully cellar to reveal layers of complex favours, a great intensity and a beautiful structure on the palate. For lovers of grand Rieslings.
