Johannes Hasselbach's Estate Wine 2019 Riesling trocken vom Roten Schiefer is clear and fresh and reveals aromatic, herbal-laced fruit with crystalline slate notes. Very elegant, pure and crystalline on the palate, this is a very fresh and puristic Riesling that comes along pretty sour even for my nordic taste, despite some grams of residual sugar and a quite creamy or smooth texture. This is a very crisp, if at all just ripe Riesling. You have to love this pure, straight, mercilessly lean and refreshing style or will have to find a smoother alternative. 12% alcohol. Tasted from AP 5-20 in May 2020.
