Katharina Wechsler, Riesling Schweisstropfchen, Rheinhessen 2020 Joan D'Anguera an extraordinary white – honeyedNose of rhubarb, honey and warm ginger. The palate is off dry, spritzy, fresh and cool with fresh pink rhubarb throughout a pure delight. This is from a tiny parcel, extremely hard to work hence the name Schweisstropchen, meaning sweat drop. It is an Auslese level (sweet) for the Kirchspiel GG but labelled as QBA.
