St. Urbans-Hof 2020 Nik Weis Leiwener Laurentiuslay GG Gold Cap Riesling (Mosel)
Editors' Choice
Sourced from the grey Devonian slate of the Laurentiuslay vineyard, this luminous, light-footed dry Riesling offers sun-kissed white peach and yellow-plum flavors etched by streaks of salt, smoke and crushed slate. A deeply penetrating, pure-fruited sip with fresh fruit and floral tones that are a bit more hedonistic in youth than many of this producer's 2020 GG's but still profoundly concentrated enough to improve for decades.
