Weingut W.E. Frank - Riesling Ludwigshöher Teufelskopf Erste Lage 2018

The Wine Advocate: "From loess, limestone and sandy loam soils at the southern tip of the so called Rheinfront and picked in the last quarter of September, the Ludwigshöher Riesling 2018 Teufelskopf Erste Lage offers a clear, bright and delicate bouquet with rather chalky notes intertwined with ripe and intense yellow fruit aromas. Round, mouth-filling and intense on the palate, this is a full-bodied, refined and elegant Riesling with playful acidity and mouth-tickling salinity on the aromatic and finely bitter, persistent finish. More filigreed-structured than the Rieslings from the red slope in Nierstein and Nackenheim and thus with lots of charm and serious ambitions, this is an excellent single-vineyard premier cru from Rheinhessen. 3,419 bottles were filled in December 2019. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork stopper. Tasted in December 2022."
