Prinz von Hessen, Dachsfilet Trocken Riesling, 2010

There are many strings to the bow of German Riesling, not least the dry style that’s so appetising with food. Honed in its attack and linear in its straight and narrow path, the nervy aromatic freshness of this wine, with its hints of apple and honey and juicy peach fruit, hits the bullseye for its ripe, incisive, citrussy acidity. Stiffen the sinews and enjoy this fresh and dryish Riesling as an apéritif or with food.
