Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown Obstgarten K Riesling 2022

"This holds 15 grams of residual sugar. From Whitlands in King Valley. Geez, VS&B know their way around riesling.

This is so delicious, so easy to drink, so charming, so compelling. So! It’s green apple crunch, a lick of honeycomb, some faint toffee notes but mostly all the apple, lime, lemon, lemongrass and alpine herbs going on. Squeaky texture, a little juicy too, a sprinkle of sherbetty acidity in the mix, the sweetness a quiet undertow and beautifully set in fresh fruit characters. The finish is a beautiful clatter of fruit, sweetness and cool, minerally acidity. This delivers so much joy. 94pts."
