Horst Sauer Escherndorfer Lump Riesling S. Trocken 2020 Description
On the nose, this wine reveals a captivating interplay of stone fruit and citrus—bright lemon zest mingles with ripe peach and subtle floral notes.
The palate opens with striking minerality and tension, delivering a lean, nervy character that speaks to its terroir. Exotic fruit notes emerge gradually - marmalade and candied citrus - balanced by steely acidity and a whisper of saline minerality.
The structure is elegant and refined, with enough acidity and extract to support extended cellaring. This wine will develop beautifully over the next 8–12 years, allowing the fruit to soften and secondary flavours - honeyed notes, dried stone fruit, and deeper mineral complexity - to emerge.
The current tautness will evolve into greater harmony and depth, rewarding patient collectors.
Pair with lightly spiced dishes, or grilled chicken and fish.
