This is the last batch of the great 2021 Saar GG’s for now, but surely more will be shown next year.
VEREINIGTE HOSPITEN
2021 (Wiltingen) Scharzhofberger Riesling GG
Fruity nose and mouth with both openness and structure; good clarity. Not the most noble Scharzhofberger (there’s some serious competition!), but a fine example. 93/A
