The 2017 Lorcher Krone Riesling Trocken is beautifully clear, precise and crunchy on the deep, intense and flinty/stony nose with its ripe, dense fruit and discreet botrytis aromas. Pure and structured on the palate, with a lot of salinity but also concentrated and juicy fruit, this is a creamy-textured but also piquant and rather warmer style of Lorch Riesling. That's because the subsoil is limestone, and the slate layer is only two meters. The persistent finish is salty, very fine and elegant.
